SOFIA, March 2 — Bulgaria’s prosecutors said today that a Russian diplomat was involved in alleged espionage in the country and that they had informed the foreign ministry.
Prosecutors also said a Bulgarian reserve general was being investigated for handing out information considered state secrets to the Russian diplomat. They did not provide details of the timing of the events.
