Having visited Bulgaria for many years I can say the pickpocketing was an issue before they started doing it in the UK. Keeping in mind that many of the thieves are poor and struggling to survive, the parents would often train the children to panhandle and pickpocket. I remember one child begging and my grandfather gave him a bag of fruit, which the boy immediately thanked him for and ran off to his mother, who was lurking in a shrubby park area. She took the bag from him, slapped him, and sent him back to beg for more. That was in the mid 90s. Another year a boy cut open my grandmother's bag and tried to steal her purse...a lady working at a nearby stall beat him off with a fly swatter. Crime is crime, but this is sad.
As a tourist from Israel in Rome many years ago I was surrounded by a friendly group of young bustling Gypsy kids at a rail station who acted like they were just welcoming a foreign tourist and eager to speak English. Suddenly I felt a slight tug on the Camera hanging from my wrist so I spun around and shouted. I heard a whistle, the group dispersed like a flash and later I noticed the group standing around an adult who must have been the organizer. As I walked away I felt a tug on my shirt sleeve and thought it was another attempt to steal. However I saw a young girl smiling at me, holding out her hand and I thought she wanted money .....but then I saw she was holding a bunch of Israeli Bank Notes. Without my feeling anything at the time one of them had managed to lift them from my pants pocket and she was sent to return them to me as they apparently had no value to them. Fortunately before I arrived at the rail station I had moved my much in demand Australian Passport from my top shirt pocket to an inner one which probably 'saved my bacon'.
As bulgarian and living in Sofia for 34 years now this is so far from the truth, these gypsy gangs are restricted and usually very very far away from the normal life
Kalderashi man: "The Bulgarians stole our land!" Oh? The Kalderash nation, situated in Europe in the 7th century, that never existed? Don't skip school, kids.
So what i've learned from this is that the gypsies blame the bulgarians the bulgarians blame the gypsies and the UK blames the bulgarians and the gypsies.
True, you forgot also the gypsies blaming the other gypsies. I think another main point was, though, the extent to which the Bulgarian mafia has spread and how they do make use of a specific population. The fact that those members who are behind organizing the trafficking have very narrow connection to the ruling elite in Bulgaria is what is most disturbing to me.
I live in the Netherlands and thats what often makes fb when people cry out for help. If the post get a lot of attention the dog is often killed since you cant sell it anymore. If some people ever try to take my dog when im around I will go John Wick on them. Thats probably the reason why they often steal them from women.
They (the government) couldn't sue him for all the shit he does (forcing prostution, women trafficiking, drugs dealing, smuggling cigarettes and alchohol, pick pocketing, racketeering, beating, and giving orders for murdering someone from opposite clan), because he paid them. Like if you accept the money - you get a nice house somewhere, if you don't - you die in an unknown accident. Also he went for politics immunity the moment there was a danger of court. So after his ummunity ended, they got him for the dog charges.

God bless him and his work! If corruption is not exposed we can't even begin to have people care enough to create change. It's just funny how all the issues he covers have an underlying theme of money and greed breeding cultures of corruption. Old as the the ancient oral storytelling traditions teaching us about the importance of morals and yet humans are still making the same bad decisions. How can we plant seeds in such toxic soil and expect good fruit to grow. And the US is spending over 100 Billion Dollars on military (more toxic soil) and 400 Billion worth of sucking oil into the poorest lives and environments so the greedy can line their pockets with marble and granite. In the US we strip away your freedom if you don't bleed enough money from your existence. Then we wonder why we have to go to war and fight against the poorest peoples' idea that we are infidels. Sorry for the cynicism but it seems there are way to many of us too busy trying to survive to even care but for everyone out there still caring God bless you for hauling the burdens of the evil in us all. I am always moved by Mr. Kemp and his reflections on our moral shortcomings and how always exposes good in the journey to uncover evil. Peace be with you all.

91adinfinitum Your right the British police would probably lock you up for being pickpocketed and no action will be taken against the pickpocket, they will get a comforting hand and a nice house to live in. People probably wouldn’t react well if they didn’t understand or the fact you are a tourist yourself.

True curious fact . . when reading an obscure book about leprosy treatments in medieval northern Europe , turned up the bon mot that . . to not to attempt to kill a gypsy , when found out & about . . in 1600's Finland . . was a crime in itself = glory days
Im born and raised in Sweden. Im of romani and slovenian descent. I can tell you all that I am living a normal life working and studying for my masters in engineering. I pay taxes, wash myself every day and generally a very likeable and loving character. I see myself as a swedish citizen fully integrated(maybe not the right term as I was born here). Nevertheless it just shows that carrying romani genes doesnt predispose to thievery, violence ect. It makes me mad reading about the "bad" romani people that make all of us hard working ones seem bad. These should be considered bad like every other human being, but equally.
Thanks to the EU open borders policy my country, which is not even a member, just a signatory lapdog, now has eastern-European roaming highway robbers, organized gangs of pickpockets and traveling burglars roaming around. We also have tens of thousands of low wage workers displacing our own working class all the while enjoying welfare benefits from day one. But, hey... at least we, as lowly native citizens, don't have to travel with a passport, and big businesses get to make a killing exploiting foreign labour--- well worth all the crime and unemployment.
I have been to Frankfurt and the Gypsies there by the train station are aggressive. I stupidly gave €5 then my friend gave €2 then a bunch came out and we ran out and got a taxi.
One of my co workers was bragging about this trip him and his wife were gonna take around Europe for like 6 months. He’s loaded always has like 5-6k in cash on him even at work wearing all gold. He comes back from the trip and the first day he landed in Europe he got pick pocketed on a bus for all his cash and wallet 🤣
Bulgaria and Romania shouldn't have been allowed into EU. Being part of EU is not only about economic standards, but also level of civility and societal stability, which clearly they don't have. Not trying to be racist, just should have given them 20 more years of development before joining the EU.
the table of clan leaders seems pretty rediculous. they are trying to say that only one type of gypsy does all the stealing around the world. what a load of crap. unfortunately that group became the scapegoat for all other gypsies
I was born and raised in Kalderashi. And yes I was sold with my twin brother age 2 then, I was adopted by an American family. I later found my real parents and brother it makes me sad my real mother and there friends and all gypsy women goes to germany and italy and london to pick pocket and my own family wants to use me but it's my bloodline and we are not all bad people we are hard workers just most for the wrong use.
This seems like a very complex issue. It seems like a top down problem from corruption from their political parties forcing people to the extremes of life in order to survive.
Have you met roma people? They don't send there kids to school, occupy land illegally, steal power and do nothing to improve the situation they put themselves in

It is very obvious there are a lot of inbread people among these poor people. It's not their fault but if the government could educate them then they could do better.
" Good fences make good neighbours ". Borders exist for good reasons. Western European countries should not have opened their borders to people from shitholes like Bulgaria. If you think borders are stupid then you should shift to Bulgaria, or, better still, Somalia.
I’m a dark skinned Mexican and I wanted to take a trip to Sofia (as a tourist) I’m a respectful person and I just want to explore but I just wanted to ask Bulgarians or other Eastern Europeans how would I be treated if I went as a tourist? Would people think I’m a gypsy? Would I be treated differently or would people really not care?
The EU makes promises to help the Roma (Gypsies) gain access to decent housing, sanitation, education and employment (including employable skills), but does little. People who have no control over their own circumstances and no access to the means to change or better their situation cannot be blamed for resorting to whatever they can to feed their families. The circumstances into which they have been forced makes them prime targets for the criminal bosses - who are NOT Gypsy! Those who condemn them, need to pause and consider what they would do in these circumstances.
@@racheleraanan5133 except the communist regime already tried to help them by providing education and free housing. The issues are cultural and deeply rooted. If Bulgarians didn't organize these crime rings, someone else would. Or they'd just do it unorganized.
@@vrilginitymaxxer - Culture is a response to conditions and circumstances. It is indeed deeply rooted, as is the marginalisation of the Gypsy people historically. It is not immutable, however, but rather responds to changes in perceptions of safety, education and opportunity. Bulgarian Gypsies have been treated with condescension and a lack of respect, not as adults capable of making their own decisions. Rather than consulting and cooperating with Gypsy elders and other representatives, Bulgarian authorities have decided what was "best" for them and tried to force them into frameworks incompatible with their culture and traditions. No wonder they have met with resistance and distrust.
@@racheleraanan5133 I don't distrust gypsies. My neighbors actually are gypsies, but I hold nothing against them because they are decent people. It's pretty obvious by looking at someone, their clothes, their facial expression, their mannerisms, if they're a human being deserving of respect or waste product. Don't care if the reasons are socioeconomic.
@@vrilginitymaxxer - It's unfortunate if you don't care about the socioeconomic causes, because they make all the difference. Outward characteristics (e.g. clothing, facial expression, mannerisms) are often reflective of circumstances and, therefore, misleading.

Ross you are the last true reporter love what you due have ball of steal
God bless him and his work! If corruption is not exposed we can't even begin to have people care enough to create change. It's just funny how all the issues he covers have an underlying theme of money and greed breeding cultures of corruption. Old as the the ancient oral storytelling traditions teaching us about the importance of morals and yet humans are still making the same bad decisions. How can we plant seeds in such toxic soil and expect good fruit to grow. And the US is spending over 100 Billion Dollars on military (more toxic soil) and 400 Billion worth of sucking oil into the poorest lives and environments so the greedy can line their pockets with marble and granite. In the US we strip away your freedom if you don't bleed enough money from your existence. Then we wonder why we have to go to war and fight against the poorest peoples' idea that we are infidels. Sorry for the cynicism but it seems there are way to many of us too busy trying to survive to even care but for everyone out there still caring God bless you for hauling the burdens of the evil in us all. I am always moved by Mr. Kemp and his reflections on our moral shortcomings and how always exposes good in the journey to uncover evil. Peace be with you all.
"And how all those persons get in the UK"....best joke i ever heard.
Ross and team, the production on this is brilliant. I would NEVER know this story but for your integrity in discovery, and I value GREATLY you protecting your sources to that end.
If ya wanna know what the slimmer pickpocket lady looks like, she appears at 1:56 without her face blurred. Is video editing that hard? Lol

How sad...this place is hell on earth.
It’s filters, but normal bulgaria looks nothing like this documentary
A good pickpocket can make 6000£ a day ! Do people in London carry lot of cash ??
Patrick Vanhamel tourists are more likely too and they stand out, making easy pickings for the crooks. Luckily I grew up by San Fran and am hip to their crooked ways. One tried to get me last time in London, but I saw him and called him out. Although unlike the bay, Londoner’s don’t like people yelling at crooks it seems.
91adinfinitum Your right the British police would probably lock you up for being pickpocketed and no action will be taken against the pickpocket, they will get a comforting hand and a nice house to live in. People probably wouldn’t react well if they didn’t understand or the fact you are a tourist yourself.
They should pickpocket the pickpockets... They would be the best mark when they carry up to 6.000 a day...
Where is the man who was born in 1889?? In a small but beautiful place called Braunau am Inn....
Dont hide the identification of the pick pockets , put them on blast.
very nice

@30:20 is Ross Kemp's gypsy son!
hes not gypsy hes white lol
Looks Romanian
True curious fact . . when reading an obscure book about leprosy treatments in medieval northern Europe , turned up the bon mot that . . to not to attempt to kill a gypsy , when found out & about . . in 1600's Finland . . was a crime in itself = glory days
@C. Michael Very true, unfortunately.
Im born and raised in Sweden. Im of romani and slovenian descent. I can tell you all that I am living a normal life working and studying for my masters in engineering. I pay taxes, wash myself every day and generally a very likeable and loving character. I see myself as a swedish citizen fully integrated(maybe not the right term as I was born here). Nevertheless it just shows that carrying romani genes doesnt predispose to thievery, violence ect. It makes me mad reading about the "bad" romani people that make all of us hard working ones seem bad. These should be considered bad like every other human being, but equally.
One question, do you know if the romani beggers in Sweden are all kalederashi romans, or a mix?
There's good and bad in every single community in the world. Those that are pointing fingers at the Roma could have their personal flaws too

I'm actually happy to read a lot of you younger ones are deciding to get education and integrate into global society.
Absolutely terrible... Hard to believe humans can be so cruel. My heart goes out to those poor women and children
Surely you are talking about the victims of gypsy crime right?
Those poor women. That’s so awful. I feel sick inside
Thanks to the EU open borders policy my country, which is not even a member, just a signatory lapdog, now has eastern-European roaming highway robbers, organized gangs of pickpockets and traveling burglars roaming around. We also have tens of thousands of low wage workers displacing our own working class all the while enjoying welfare benefits from day one.
But, hey... at least we, as lowly native citizens, don't have to travel with a passport, and big businesses get to make a killing exploiting foreign labour--- well worth all the crime and unemployment.
Sounds about right
Virtue signaling elitists that don't pay the price. They should all hang.
Just build yourself a pipe shotgun or buy a real gun and get on your business
sounds like a government problem
You deserve everything you fear.
These kids and their computers! So great.

This is mega covered by money though, you go yourself its different story..
Wonder what Churchill would make of England today ?
He would approve, because he was a scumbag.
In sweden its same and they sit outside stores
They are everywhere here
How can we even begin to guess what goes on within the Roma...I thought that before I saw the video
I have been to Frankfurt and the Gypsies there by the train station are aggressive. I stupidly gave €5 then my friend gave €2 then a bunch came out and we ran out and got a taxi.
One of my co workers was bragging about this trip him and his wife were gonna take around Europe for like 6 months. He’s loaded always has like 5-6k in cash on him even at work wearing all gold. He comes back from the trip and the first day he landed in Europe he got pick pocketed on a bus for all his cash and wallet 🤣
Oh dear. I always switch to all my crappy jewelry and a watch I feel I can afford to lose. Even usually an older smart phone not my main one.
After a 5 hour traditional lunch.. hahaha
BLOOD AND HONOUR!
Why are there so many damn bottles on that table?!
song at 8:50 ???
Bulgaria and Romania shouldn't have been allowed into EU. Being part of EU is not only about economic standards, but also level of civility and societal stability, which clearly they don't have. Not trying to be racist, just should have given them 20 more years of development before joining the EU.
Maybe look up biggest growing economies in the EU. Bulgaria is way above any Western European country.
@ They will need a while to be at the same standard as Western European countries. But it won't be more than 5-10 years at this rate.

the table of clan leaders seems pretty rediculous. they are trying to say that only one type of gypsy does all the stealing around the world. what a load of crap. unfortunately that group became the scapegoat for all other gypsies

Do they run them to see if they are in the country legally ??
A problem after what countries? Does he say recession countries?
Do not confuse these people with bulgarians,they are mangals.
Kkkk Bbbb Derogatory term for Roma Gypsy.
Hey, I want to ask, maybe you know some ppl from Roma community who wants to talk with polish journalist this weekend in Sofia?
18:56 - She says the bulgarians don't steal and don't do prostitution and yet the translation says otherwise.
it was a double negative (she sayed that the gypsys steal, but it's not like the bulgarians don't)

I was born and raised in Kalderashi. And yes I was sold with my twin brother age 2 then, I was adopted by an American family. I later found my real parents and brother it makes me sad my real mother and there friends and all gypsy women goes to germany and italy and london to pick pocket and my own family wants to use me but it's my bloodline and we are not all bad people we are hard workers just most for the wrong use.
«Hard workers»😂
This seems like a very complex issue. It seems like a top down problem from corruption from their political parties forcing people to the extremes of life in order to survive.
its not very complex, you have a border right? Control it
@@liquid7105 don't let in people with a shade darker than _tone3 emoji
Have you met roma people? They don't send there kids to school, occupy land illegally, steal power and do nothing to improve the situation they put themselves in
It is very obvious there are a lot of inbread people among these poor people. It's not their fault but if the government could educate them then they could do better.
Guys you are not fair to Ross Kemp, he should be having more than one million subscribers.
Self described as “Dark, dirty and Ugly”. I couldn’t agree more
I'm quite surprised there's any gypsies left in Bulgaria there are so many in the rest of Europe
They have many children..
This episode: open borders destroying a country.
Next episode: why Trump is racist for trying to secure the border
You are too stupid to understand the real problem. It has to do with wealth and religion. Borders are stupid.
" Good fences make good neighbours ". Borders exist for good reasons. Western European countries should not have opened their borders to people from shitholes like Bulgaria. If you think borders are stupid then you should shift to Bulgaria, or, better still, Somalia.
I’m a dark skinned Mexican and I wanted to take a trip to Sofia (as a tourist) I’m a respectful person and I just want to explore but I just wanted to ask Bulgarians or other Eastern Europeans how would I be treated if I went as a tourist? Would people think I’m a gypsy? Would I be treated differently or would people really not care?
Wear a Sombrero, short pants, Mexican football jersey and flip flops, then you be fine. 😁
Don't even think about it muchacho
Mexicans don't look like our gypsies. You'll be OK.
You'll be fine nothing to worry about😂
Wear a Mexico t-shirt, obtain a non-gypsy certificate.. Still not a guarantee
Why are ppl releasing these videos as new, they are old as hell
New to me, never seen it
Poor woman being exploited like that, everyone deserves a better life than that, where the heck is the protection of human rights.
The EU makes promises to help the Roma (Gypsies) gain access to decent housing, sanitation, education and employment (including employable skills), but does little. People who have no control over their own circumstances and no access to the means to change or better their situation cannot be blamed for resorting to whatever they can to feed their families. The circumstances into which they have been forced makes them prime targets for the criminal bosses - who are NOT Gypsy! Those who condemn them, need to pause and consider what they would do in these circumstances.
@@racheleraanan5133 except the communist regime already tried to help them by providing education and free housing.
The issues are cultural and deeply rooted. If Bulgarians didn't organize these crime rings, someone else would. Or they'd just do it unorganized.
@@vrilginitymaxxer - Culture is a response to conditions and circumstances. It is indeed deeply rooted, as is the marginalisation of the Gypsy people historically. It is not immutable, however, but rather responds to changes in perceptions of safety, education and opportunity.
Bulgarian Gypsies have been treated with condescension and a lack of respect, not as adults capable of making their own decisions. Rather than consulting and cooperating with Gypsy elders and other representatives, Bulgarian authorities have decided what was "best" for them and tried to force them into frameworks incompatible with their culture and traditions. No wonder they have met with resistance and distrust.
@@racheleraanan5133 I don't distrust gypsies. My neighbors actually are gypsies, but I hold nothing against them because they are decent people. It's pretty obvious by looking at someone, their clothes, their facial expression, their mannerisms, if they're a human being deserving of respect or waste product. Don't care if the reasons are socioeconomic.
@@vrilginitymaxxer - It's unfortunate if you don't care about the socioeconomic causes, because they make all the difference.
Outward characteristics (e.g. clothing, facial expression, mannerisms) are often reflective of circumstances and, therefore, misleading.
