The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested information from the Irish authorities about the ship Verila, on board of which a large amount of cocaine was found. This was said by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mariya Gabriel. 
The Minister of the Interior, Kalin Stoyanov, specified that there were 17 Bulgarians and one Ukrainian on board, and that the case refers not to about 300 kilograms of cocaine, as Irish media reported earlier, but about 500 kilograms. 

"At the moment, there is very active communication at the level of operational international cooperation, so facts and circumstances are yet to come out," commented Stoyanov. 

The information is from BNR Burgas.
