Bulgaria's Specialized Prosecutor's Office is to request the permanent detention of two suspects allegedly involved in the shipment of 3 tons of cocaine on a Bulgarian ship that was busted in Spain last week.
The suspects are Doychin Doychev, owner of the Seaborne Trade company and the SV Nikolay ship, and Ruslan Kolev, the man who recruited the ship's sailors.
