Bulgarian trafficking gang arrested in Spain.

Thirty-three people have been arrested for sex trafficking in the Spain’s Canary Isles. The arrests included fifteen Bulgarians, seven Spaniards and two Romanians. The traffickers allegedly lured young Bulgarian women to Spain with offers of high paid jobs. They were then forced into prostitution and their services advertised into the Spanish media. The alleged leader of the gang was a thirty-five year old Bulgarian known as Kiko. The prostitution services were offered as part of “an unforgettable tourist trip to the Canary Islands.” There is a strong link between Bulgarian organised crime and Spain.
