Interior Minister Daniel Mitov has dismissed claims that inspections are being conducted at the office of a non-governmental organization in central Sofia.
In a Facebook post, Mitov urged everyone to refrain from insinuations and speculation that only undermine trust in institutions.
Earlier on Monday, it transpired that police officers conducted an inspection following a report about residing foreign nationals.
Law enforcement officers found 25 individuals of Arab origin in various apartments, one of whom is wanted nationwide.
The Sofia Police Directorate also refuted claims about an inspection at the NGO’s office located in the same building.
Earlier on Monday, the BOEC NGO posted a video on its Facebook page showing two police officers. The organization said that the officers, accompanied by staff from the State Agency for National Security, tried "to break down the door of the BOEC office and enter inside".
