This was announced at a briefing by the spokesperson of the Prosecutor General, Siika Mileva, who commented on the large-scale action from today in Sofia.
“Active actions are taking place in Sofia with the aim of neutralizing the illegal criminal activity of the Nexo cryptobank. It has created and maintains an international cryptocurrency exchange and lending platform. The main organizers of this activity are Bulgarian citizens and the main activity is carried out from the territory of Bulgaria. The cryptobank operates through numerous registered companies, the majority of them are “mail boxes” – hollow companies”, Mileva added.
