"Our actions must be uncompromising, because this type of crime puts at risk the most precious thing for us - our children," the prosecutor wrote.
Early in the morning, searches began in homes and offices at dozens of addresses in Sofia, Varna, Haskovo and other places and arrests have been made. According to preliminary data, the pedophile network exchanged pornographic materials.
