Bulgarian authorities have dismantled a criminal group involved in human trafficking following raids across four regions: Sofia, Pernik, Stara Zagora, and Burgas. Twenty-three individuals were detained during the operation, with eight formally charged in connection to the smuggling ring. The investigation uncovered significant assets, including gold, over 100 investment coins, and substantial amounts of cash. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the nationalities of the migrants involved or the group’s operational methods. The operation represents a significant effort to combat organized crime and illegal migration within Bulgaria. Further investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the network and identify any additional participants. The seized assets are being investigated for links to the trafficking operation.
