Bulgarian sailors get paid about EUR 1 000 on average for trafficking small quantities of drugs.
This has been announced by Kalin Mihov, a former Deputy Director of Bulgaria’s unit for fighting organized crime, GDBOP.
Mihov told Darik Radio that the Bulgarian sailors are usually recruited by smaller-scale drug producers and traffickers in various ports in Latin America to become part of trafficking channels for smaller shipments.
