Romanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian gangs are pretty active in the Netherlands.


Over here in Belgium as well, but most of them seem to originate from the Roma gypsy population. They're mostly involved in organized scamming and theft. Prostitution happens as well, but they don't really have any formal control over this.
