The court has ruled that 4 of the 5 suspects detained in Bulgaria for complicity in the bombing in Istanbul remain in custody indefinitely.

However, the magistrates failed to find data of their complicity to the terrorist act, only to human trafficking. The only clue leading to the bombing is a cell phone allegedly used by one of the individuals detained to contact a person suspected of involvement in the terrorist act. There are data that the persons apprehended transported illegal migrants from Turkey towards Bulgaria and on the territory of the country.
