Leaked documents have surfaced, allegedly revealing that Bulgarian special services engaged in wiretapping of high-ranking legal professionals, including judges, prosecutors, and lawyers. The Bulgarian investigative website Bird.bg obtained these documents, which reportedly indicate a widespread corruption scheme involving millions of leva.

The data suggests a disturbing level of surveillance targeting individuals within the justice system. This alleged operation raises serious questions about the abuse of power and the integrity of legal proceedings in Bulgaria. The scope of the alleged corruption, as indicated by the documents, points to significant financial impropriety.

Media reports based on the leaked materials highlight the gravity of the situation. The revelations could have profound implications for public trust in the judiciary and law enforcement agencies. Further details are expected as the implications of these leaked documents are investigated.
