The article discusses the public’s desire for equality under the law, regardless of origin, while highlighting the perception of crime linked to specific communities.

It critiques the Greek political system for failing to address the root causes of poverty and social exclusion, advocating for equal rights and obligations for all citizens.

He highlights that similar illegal groups exist globally in areas like Rio de Janeiro, Hamburg, and Paris, where law enforcement is often absent.

The lack of educational and job opportunities for youth leads them to be drawn into criminal activities as an easy alternative.

SociolHe also criticizes the institutional blindness towards illegal wealth, highlighting the presence of luxury cars owned by unemployed individuals without legal repercussions.

The involvement of children of high-ranking officials in criminal activities complicates justice efforts, and there are concerns about lenient sentences for offenders, which discourage victims from testifying.

]]> Bulgaria and Transgender https://rroma.org/bulgaria-and-transgender/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bulgaria-and-transgender Fri, 19 Jun 2026 13:47:40 +0000 https://rroma.org/?p=33060 This article alleges that the gang known as “Kalashniks” has taken control of the transgender sex work market, primarily involving Roma individuals, with many providing services for high rates.

Sources indicate that around 90% of transgender sex workers are of Roma descent, and the gang profits significantly from this operation, reportedly earning around 100,000 euros monthly. There are allegations of coercion and exploitation within the community, with concerns that many Roma gay men are forced into sex work as transgender women for the gang’s benefit.

As usual, “sources” are not named …

Most of these organizations are involved in burglaries, highlighting the need for targeted police actions.

Authorities are urged to investigate the underlying causes of this crime and enhance prevention efforts to restore public trust.

These are basically statements without concrete proofs, stigmatising a minority in Greece.

]]> Greece and Roma https://rroma.org/greece-and-roma-12/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=greece-and-roma-12 Sun, 14 Jun 2026 08:59:57 +0000 https://rroma.org/?p=32967 The number of articles about crime and Roma in the Greek press is horrendous. Not a day passes without 5 or more articles about crimes committed by Roma in Greece.

The show “Autopsia” ‘investigates’ crime among the Roma community, revealing the realities within their settlements. Host Antonis Sroiter interviews Roma individuals about police raids, weapons, drugs, and electricity theft. The program explores the prevalence of Roma in criminal groups and their shift from theft to phone scams, alongside personal stories and police statistics.

Basically, it portrays all Roma as criminals. Bad.

]]> Really???? https://rroma.org/really-30/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=really-30 Tue, 26 May 2026 15:40:42 +0000 https://rroma.org/?p=32731 An article that claims that Roma are behing 76% of all burglaries in Greece. They throw numbers around without proofs. According to them: “A total of 510 criminal organizations were recorded with 3,469 members. Of these, 51% are domestic, which shows that Greek participation remains dominant in the field of organized crime. Of the foreign organizations, Bulgarians and Albanians have the strongest presence, followed by Georgians and Turks.”

How they arrive at those numbers, and frankly they are certainly not true, remains a mystery.

How about making as many comments on the ‘Ndrangheta or on the Mafia?

]]> Ferraris https://rroma.org/ferraris/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ferraris Mon, 18 May 2026 14:53:43 +0000 https://rroma.org/?p=32624 Two Ferraris worth over €200,000 ended up at the center of a complex scam involving changes of ownership and companies linked to the same family, apparently Sinti from the region. This is the case on which the Supreme Court ruled, upholding the seizure of one of the supercars and rejecting the appeal filed by a woman living in the Venice area.

There are two detainees, and the home of a deputy mayor of a municipality is being searched based on reports. During searches of the home of one of those being searched, an illegal gun was found.

]]> The Usual https://rroma.org/the-usual/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-usual Sat, 04 Apr 2026 13:40:25 +0000 https://rroma.org/?p=32108 The usual reporting about  Roma in Ialy. A police action arresting 8 people in Sarzana, next to la Spezia for burglaries and other offences.

Bad for all.
