Bulgaria's Chief Prosecutor Boris Velchev has received information from Italy's "Antimafia" direction prosecutor Pietro Grasso, Darik Nres reported.

Both Bulgaria and Italy's prosecutors will work on the contents of the folder that Velchev received, but Grasso refused to clarify what it contained.

In a similar case before, the two authorities teamed up in the extradition of Bulgarian citizens to Italy where they were sued for human trafficking, Velchev explained.
