Bulgarian Spy Ring Exposed: Journalist's Life Threatened
A Bulgarian spy ring, led by Orlin Roussev and based in London, has been exposed by British intelligence. The group, allegedly ordered by Jan Marsalek under Kremlin command, was tracking, abducting, or killing Christo Grosev, an investigative journalist who has exposed numerous Russian spies and assassination plots.
Christo Grosev, renowned for uncovering more Russian spies and plots than any other journalist, had exposed the scheme to eliminate Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny using the deadly nerve agent Novichok. His work has earned him admiration from freedom of expression advocates but made him an enemy of the state for the Kremlin.
The trial at the Old Bailey in London revealed 200,000 text messages between Marsalek and the spy ring, detailing their hour-by-hour plans. Grosev's concerns for his family's safety grew after learning that a spy team broke into his Vienna apartment while his son was present. The documentary 'Antidote', directed by James Jones, highlights Grosev's story and the risks faced by those standing up to Putin. The film won awards at Tribeca, Hamptons International Film Festival, and The Hague Movies that Matter Festival.
The exposure of the Bulgarian spy ring sheds light on the Kremlin's efforts to silence critical voices. Despite the risks, journalists like Grosev continue to investigate and expose state-sponsored plots, ensuring the public remains informed about the threats to democracy and freedom of expression.
