The trial of the Romanian Roma (and a few others) who picked the pockets of tourists in the Disneyland near Paris (and apparently made 1 Mio EUR) is in full swing. According to the journalist, it is worthy of a Kusturica movie.
The article is good with one exception – the use of “clan” in this context. One family is definitively not a clan – and this term is abused in the European Press in the context of Roma.
