Bulgaria has summoned Russia’s envoy in Sofia for putting Bulgarian investigative journalist Christo Grozev on a wanted list after he angered Moscow with investigations into the poisoning of Kremlin critic Aleksei Navalny. Grozev, chief investigator on Russia for the Bellingcat news outlet, is "wanted under an article of the Criminal Code," according to the Russian Interior Ministry website. Bulgaria's interim prime minister, Galab Donev, said Bulgaria would demand Russia explain why Grozev had been put on the list. "This act is unacceptable. It represents an attack on freedom of speech and an attempt to intimidate a Bulgarian citizen," Donev said. To read the original story from AP, click here.
