Bulgaria protests to Russia after journalist Grozev put on wanted list
SOFIA, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Bulgaria protested to Russia on Thursday for putting Bulgarian investigative journalist Christo Grozev on a wanted list, with its prime minister criticising the move as an intimidatory tactic designed to muzzle free speech.
Grozev, chief investigator on Russia for the Bellingcat news outlet, is "wanted under an article of the Criminal Code," according to information published on Russia's interior ministry website this week.
Interim PM Galab Donev said Bulgaria would demand full information from Russia on why Grozev had been put on the list.
