The police have neutralized an organized crime group that transported migrants from Burgas through Sofia to the Serbian border, Sofia District Prosecutor Natalia Nikolova said at a briefing. She indicated that 13 addresses were checked and 13 people were detained. Five people remain in custody - one woman and four men. The youngest trafficker is 21 years old, and the oldest is 33, and all five are unemployed. Four were convicted with effective sentences for transporting migrants, Nikolova said. The foreigners transported are mainly from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The criminals used fake police uniforms and GPS trackers. The group took 3,000 to 5,000 euros from each migrant.
