A man and a woman allegedly linked to the Islamic State group and searched for by Bulgarian police, have used fake identity documents to leave a neighbouring country but have entered Bulgaria using their real ones, BNT TV station has reported.
A partner security agency has tipped the Bulgarian authorities about the false identity cards of the two, BNT said citing sources. Their real names were specified later.
Several Bulgarian news websites released on Sunday photos of two identity cards depicting a man called Mimo Popescu, a Romanian national, and a woman named Ezida Elham, a French citizen of Iranian descent.
