There is nothing to suggest that begging Romanians in Scandinavia controlled by traffickers or criminal networks, according to a new research.
Fafo researcher Guri Tyldum says to NRK that she was surprised by the survey findings, based on interviews with 1,269 homeless and jobless Romanians in Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
None of the respondents have told about organized networks, traffickers or trafficking.
READ Shazia SARWARS COMMENT ABOUT THE CASE:
truth about Romanian beggars
– Usually one hears about such things when they come out of it. We heard no rumors about anything. In Norway, it often comes in small groups, often as families. We were surprised that it was not as large family network that we thought, she said.
The family organizes
All organization happens mostly within the family or group, the report said. Everyone had a good overview of how much they had earned and spent, and nobody told about the money that went to other people.
– What we have said concerning the crime stems from police observations that the same beggar is implicated in the crime. It is unclear to me what the researchers opinion is based, but we relate to the police have said, says State Secretary Vidar Brein-Karlsen (FRP) in the Ministry of Justice to Aftenposten.
Deputy Chief Roger Andresen of the Oslo police say they have not read the report yet.
