The Court of Appeals said, in the motivation of its decision to have Achim and Bulgarian citizen Marinov Zikolov taken into custody, that in 2002-2007 Achim is accused of having procured documents classified as state secrets which may jeopardize national security, such as military communication systems, radar frequencies, NATO maps, schemes and maps of subunits and military technique and defense plans.
 
Achim allegedly sold the documents to Zikolov for various sums of money, usually of up to $1,000. Zikolov allegedly sent the documents further to a foreign country.
 
The preventive arrest measure was appealed but the High Court of Justice postponed debates until Thursday.
