Police seized servers containing 25 terabyte worth of illegal content which was said to have been distributed on the internal network of an internet service provider in the Bulgarian town of Yambol.

Along with the servers, more than 10 000 pirated disks had been found, containing music, movies, computer and entertainment software, Bulgarian-language daily Standard said.

According to a Interior Ministry spokesperson in Yambol, the heist had been the "biggest so far" in the region.
