Investigation launched into discovered GPS signal jamming devices in Sofia
The Ministry of the Interior has released details regarding the discovery of specialized equipment for jamming GPS signals in the capital's Dragalevtsi district. The case sparked significant public interest after it became clear that the devices had been positioned in strategic locations.
According to the official statement by former Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev, a total of two devices were discovered. One of them was hidden in a building, while the second was found in a passenger car. Experts are already working on dismantling and analyzing the parts to determine the origin and purpose of the equipment.
In connection with media speculation, the Ministry of the Interior categorically denied that there had been a "leak" of information from the department during the investigation. Authorities assure that the police actions were coordinated and aim to fully clarify the circumstances surrounding the possession of these devices.
At this time, the investigation continues, with checks being conducted to see if the equipment was used for illegal activities. Further information is expected from the prosecutor's office once the technical examination of the seized items is completed.
