The foreigner was charged with committing criminal activities linked to the Hamas organization. The detained person is 37 years old.

The arrest took place in Sofia on the basis of a European Arrest Warrant. A procedure for initiating legal proceedings has started, which may lead to the extradition of the suspect.
