Where there is poverty, there is fear and where there is fear, there will be criminality and sadly, many unfortunate victims. It is believed that a high percentage of the world’s black-market in body donor parts originates from Bulgaria.

The spread of illegal organ sales into Europe has been abetted by the Internet, a global shortage of organs for transplants and the presence of unscrupulous traffickers, ready to exploit economic hardship.
