Sofia City Court said it will consider later on Monday a request by the prosecution service to issue a European arrest warrant for two individuals charged with setting ablaze Starlink antennas near Sofia earlier in October. It means that the two perpetrators have left the country.
The burning of the Starlink antennas was first reported by Democratic Bulgaria MP Ivaylo Mirchev who said in a Facebook post on October 12 that 11 antennas used to communicate with Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite communications system, were deliberately set on fire at a secret facility near Sofia. He wrote that the damaged antennas provide a key link to Elon Musk’s satellites in space, which are also actively used in the war in Ukraine. According to Mirchev, two masked men set fire to 11 of the 17 SpaceX antennas at the site used to connect to Starlink satellites.
During a parliamentary hearing on security issues October 14, Prime Minister Rumen Radev said that an investigation is underway of the Starlink antenna fire and urged patience regarding its results. The PM also requested that the chair of the State Agency for National Security, who also spoke during the hearing, not reveal any details. “It is a matter of very little time, we are working with partner services, for this operation to be successfully concluded. If what exactly has been established is revealed, there will not be the result we are striving for. A little more patience, you will have a result. At the moment, no more will be shared”, said Radev.
On October 15, Interior Ministry Secretary General Lyubomir Nikolov told reporters that there are suspects in the arson attack but declined to provide details as it might jeopardize the investigation.
