Bulgarian Chief Prosecutor’s Office spokesman, Siika Mileva, denied any political motivation behind the investigation into crypto lending platform Nexo. Mileva stated that the investigation into these organizations has become a nationwide movement and that the case involves so-called “cybercrime modern offenses” which has been conducted in collaboration with international partners for several months.
