Four Bulgarian men are on trial in Paris for their alleged roles in defacing the Holocaust Memorial last year.
A Paris court heard that suspected Russian proxies, who are on trial for defacing the Paris Holocaust Museum with red paint, later traveled to Germany and Switzerland. French investigators suspect they might have been involved in other provocative acts in these countries.
Of the four suspects, Mircho Angelov, 27, is on the run, while Nikolay Ivanov, 42, was arrested in Croatia last year and was extradited. Police investigation documents cited in court alleged they had
“received instructions in Russian via Telegram”.
