Evidence shows that since 2015 the young man has travelled repeatedly to Syria and has been directly involved in armed operations by different jihadi terrorist groups.

At this time there is no evidence of the accused Bulgarian citizen having taken part in any preparations for terrorist attacks in Bulgaria.
