UK police investigates more than 40 criminal gangs led by immigrants form Bulgaria and Romania.
Activities of the gangs came into focus in 2007, when Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU and UK had to open its borders to the newcomers, Sunday Express reported.
Human trafficking, prostitution, money-laundering and drugs smuggling feature among the crimes these gangs most often commit.
Bank accounts of two of the gangs were frozen after investigation showed that they accumulated more than 15 million pounds in four months. Scotland Yard still has not arrested any gang members and refrains from revealing investigation information.
The UK government had repeatedly warned of the danger of Eastern European criminals coming to the country, “particularly from Bulgaria, renowned as the most lawless nation on the continent,” the newspaper said.
A Home Office source said that the “criminal elements are now teaming up with their fellow countrymen who have been here for a couple of years.”

 | What is exactly the point to quote a tabloid UK paper for English language ex-pats in Bulgaria?
We all know that UK tabloid press feeds UKIP with arguments, but why helping them do better?

| Uk Tabloids are the most vicious and irresponsible on earth! Prior Bulgaria and Romaina joining the EU they were overblowing the amount of influx of immigrants from these two countries but they had been shamed cos many bulgarians prefer to hold their dignity and well-earned degrees than going to UK in serach of menial jobs. UK has been very racist and partial in its restriction on the labour market regarding bulgarians and romanians.Britons troops in to Bulgaria on daily basis with their almighty so called pounds sterling greedily grabbing every available properties in high brow area but in britian they treat bulgarians with scorn and their upper stiif lips.... is bulgaria the only country on earth where we have mafias or criminals alike? how many deadly criminals are british citizens? every single pence stolen is a bulgarian... it is a pity that the bulgarian govt can't make things difficult for every briton that intends to buy anything or set up a business her instead they treat them like kings... poooooooo!!! shame on u the brits.... | |
