BULGARIA AND FRANCE BUST TOGETHER ORGANISED CRIMINAL GROUP
14:34 Tue 03 Jul 2007

The service for combating human trafficking in the French town of Reims and Bulgarian border police busted an organised criminal group involved in trafficking in women.

French investigators detained four men aged 30 to 37 from the Bulgarian town of Dobrich. They organised trafficking in women to Western Europe. The men involved in the scheme 20 women from northeastern Bulgaria, who were taken abroad and forced them into prostitution.

The group is active since May 2006. Bulgarian border police joined the investigation in the beginning of 2007.

Group leaders and their assistants have acted on the territory of northeastern France.

Police officers also detained a prostitute who controlled the rest of the girls [these women are major; the use of "girls" without quote marks here is uncritically adopted from the pimps' vocabulary; at least they didn't write "sex workers" -J.H.].

Another criminal group for women trafficking used for sexual services was busted in March 2007 with the co-operation of French police in Bulgaria.

An earlier article gives some additional information:
The masterminds of the scheme, aged 35 and 37, were not living in France, pulling the strings from Bulgaria.

At the beginning of June, however, they arrived in France and torn apart by wrangles decided to settle scores on the site.

Police tracked the two men down and arrested them.

The prostitutes were questioned as witnesses.

The women, aged between 22 and 29, were all recruited from Southern Bulgaria [this seems to be a mistake, as Dobrich is clearly located in northeastern Bulgaria].
