"The case regarding the detention of six Bulgarians charged with espionage for Russia concerns sensitive information not only about Bulgaria’s national security, but also about that of NATO, the European Union and our Euro-Atlantic partners-the USA," this country’s Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev said in an interview for BNT. 

In his words, the group has been under control for a long time and the competent authorities have taken the necessary measures to curtail the problems it could cause for Bulgaria’s national security. "We are talking about Bulgarians selling their own country for pennies," Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General Geshev went on to say. In his view, this spying scandal can be compared with the Cambridge Five- a ring of spies in the United Kingdom that passed classified information to the Soviet Union during World War 2.
