Failed special operation to capture Plamen Galev due to information leak
The failure of a specialized police operation has revealed serious problems within the security services. The goal of the operation was to capture Plamen Galev, who has been wanted for years and is one of the notorious "Galev Brothers." According to reports, he managed to leave his hideout just minutes before the teams arrived.
Investigators believe the reason for the failure was a leak of confidential information. Someone from within the inner circle of the services warned Galev about the upcoming operation, which allowed him to slip away in time. An internal investigation is currently underway to determine who is responsible for compromising the plan.
Plamen Galev is well-known to the Bulgarian public. In May 2012, he received a final sentence of 5 years in prison for an organized criminal group and extortion. However, shortly after the court ruling was announced, he fled the country and has since been on Interpol's wanted list.
The case has sparked a wide public outcry and raised questions regarding the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. Citizens are demanding answers as to how it is possible for a person with such a serious sentence to remain untouchable by justice for so long.
The prosecutor's office is expected to provide more details on the case in the coming days. In the meantime, the search for Plamen Galev continues, and institutions are under pressure to prove that no one in Bulgaria is above the law.
