Hristo Grozev was sought (by the Bulgarian institutions), not personally by the Prime Minister or the President, or by any leader of a political party.

I know that on the second day he was searched and the relevant mechanisms were activated to ensure, as far as possible, his safety, since he is not in Bulgaria.

National security expert Boyko Noev said this in the studio of "This Morning".

"After the Foreign Ministry woke up after the holidays and invited Mitrofanova.

As if for such important things we have to wait until we eat the sardines and the turkey.

She will probably say what the real reasons are and then the MFA should say what they asked and what they answered.

So far, we know from the official Russian agency "RIA Novosti" that the actions of the criminal authorities in Russia are due to his (Grozev's name) interpretations or because of information he gave about the Russian army," added Noev.

He added that there is a law in Russia that prohibits telling the truth.

"If you have heard something about the investigation of explosions, since 2011 there have been more than 10 explosions in factories, warehouses, people died in our country.

The Attorney General conveniently comes out with comments, but in practice we have not seen any result.

If it wasn't for Grozev, there wouldn't have been any investigation of the Russian special services in Bulgaria," said the national security expert.

According to Noev, the DANS resource for controlling the activities of foreign special services in Bulgaria should be doubled or tripled, at the expense of activities that are not inherent to them.

According to him, the leader of Vazrazhdane Kostadin Kostadinov does not leave the Russian embassy in Sofia.

"He literally lives there," said Noev and added that many terrible things are happening in Bulgaria and not only the man with a monetary nickname is a conductor of Russian interests in our country.
