SOFIA, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Bulgarian prosecutors have launched an investigation into alleged illegal activities conducted by cryptocurrency lender Nexo, they said on Thursday, raiding more than 15 sites in the capital Sofia. Prosecutors said Nexo has been operating through many companies, many of which were just "post boxes". Crypto lenders act like banks for the crypto world, offering customers interest on cryptocurrencies they deposit with the platform. According to Bulgarian prosecutors $94 billion has gone through the Nexo platform in the past five years. The firms grew rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, but as crypto markets slumped last year various crypto lenders froze withdrawals, leaving customers with large losses.

Bulgaria suspectează Rusia de atacuri cu bombă asupra unor depozite de armament. Trei cetățeni ruși suspectați că lucrează în colaborare cu GRU sunt acum dați în urmărire pentru că ar fi fost implicați în tentativa de asasinat. Alți trei s-au aflat în Bulgaria în perioada în care a avut loc tentativa de asasinat și exploziile de la fabricile de muniție și armament. Toate armele și muniția distruse în explozii urmau să fie exportate în Ucraina sau Georgia. Ministrul rus de Externe, Serghei Lavrov, a ironizat acuzațiile bulgarilor despre care a spus că „vor să îi depășească pe cehi”.
