Five Bulgarians - Orlin Rusev, Biser Dzhambazov, Katrin Ivanova, Ivan Stoyanov and Vanya Gaberova - have been charged with conspiring to obtain or exchange information between August 2020 and February 2023 that could be - or was intended to be - "directly or indirectly useful for a purpose prejudicial to the security and interests of the United Kingdom".
