The Bulgarian captain who was kidnapped by pirates near Benin, has been released, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva announced today.
He is expected to return to Bulgaria soon. In April, pirates attacked the container ship "Tommi Ritscher" off the coast near the city of Cotonou, West Africa. There were no other Bulgarians among the 19-member crew of the ship.
