Bulgaria detains 5 for suspected complicity in Istanbul terror attack
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AA) – Bulgaria has detained five people for suspected complicity in a terror attack that killed six people in Istanbul last week.
Three Moldavian nationals and two Arabs of unspecified nationality will be kept in custody for 72 hours, state-run news agency BTA reported, citing Siika Mileva, a spokesperson for the chief prosecutor.
The prosecutor will request the court to order their permanent detention after 72 hours, she added.
Mileva lauded Türkiye’s cooperation in the investigative process and said the suspects were mostly involved in logistical activities after the terror attack.
Meanwhile, Istanbul police counter-terrorism teams apprehended eight more suspects linked to the attack on November 13.
The Turkish government has accused the PKK/YPG of carrying out the attack. It claims to have arrested the perpetrator of the attack. .
