The turnover from the sex industry in Bulgaria is 1 billion Euro.
This was announced by the ex Secretary of the police Tzvyatko Tzvetkov at a round table, BGNES reported. According to Tzvetkov the monthly income of a prostitute is 12-18 thousand Euro.
It is necessary to ponder whether after the legalization of prostitution, sex traffic will increase and the sex-industry will expand. There are 300 clubs with prostitutes in Bulgaria as 100 of them are in Sofia. Tzvetkov added that the prostitution business is third in Bulgaria after the drugs business and the stolen cars business.
Therefore, a general decision for the entire EU must be taken, because when one country decides to solve its prostitution problem, sex traffic shifts to another country. In Bulgaria policemen protect prostitutes, trucks with cigarettes, drugs traffic and a solution must be devised for breaking police connections with crime.
