I assume the "Bulgarian mafia" has some power in Bulgaria itself, but international activities are very limited. Most Bulgaria-connected criminal cases I come across here in Belgium involve Turks from Bulgaria instead of ethnic Bulgarians and it most concerns illegal contracting and prostitution; more often than not connected to established Turkish criminal organizations.
Romanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian gangs are pretty active in the Netherlands.
I suppose this deserves a thread of its own , but how come one can read next to nothing about Hungarian organized crime in general ? It's as if they are virtual phantoms in spite of all the tales one can hear about them .
