On the occasion of the speculations and attempts to involve the name of Bulgaria in the explosion of the Crimean Bridge, an inspection was carried out by the security services on the order of the Prime Minister. It is undisputed that the truck blown up on the Crimean bridge was never in the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, which was indicated as the starting point for its route, the government press center stated.
According to Russian media, the truck that exploded on October 8 was transporting polyethylene film. The inspection of the Bulgarian services also established that goods with similar characteristics were introduced into the territory of Bulgaria from another EU member state in a container with duly formed documents under the transit regime.
During the stay of the goods in question in Bulgaria, it was under customs supervision and left the country in the same container through the Port of Burgas on September 17, 2022, in the direction of a country other than Russia.
The inspection made it absolutely clear that the container with which the goods left Bulgaria was not in the exploded truck.
All information on the case has been provided to the Prosecutor’s Office.
Under no circumstances will our government allow our country’s name to be associated with any involvement in terrorist activity.
