Three Bulgarian nationals have been convicted of espionage for Russia after a jury trial at the Old Bailey. The accused, Katrin Ivanova, Vanya Gaberova, and Tihomir Ivanchev, were junior members of a spy network commanded by Jan Marsalek, a fugitive believed to orchestrate surveillance operations in Europe. The network targeted journalist Christo Grozev for exposing Russian spies and was involved in stealing military intelligence using advanced technology. The convictions come after a lengthy trial, where the defendants maintained their innocence against significant evidence presented by the prosecution.
The trial at the Old Bailey ended with unanimous verdicts on three Bulgarian nationals implicated in a sophisticated Russian-led espionage ring across Europe.
Convicted members, linked to fugitive Jan Marsalek, were part of a ring surveilling journalist Christo Grozev and stealing sensitive military information.
