Bulgaria Raids Illegal Care Homes; Dozens Rescued | JQJO

Bulgarian authorities rescued 75 individuals from two unlicensed care homes operating as "houses of horrors." Victims endured beatings, restraints, and sedation. Five arrests were made, and investigations into kidnapping, violence, and negligence are underway. The deplorable conditions, including bound residents and lack of basic necessities, prompted inspections of other facilities to combat property fraud targeting vulnerable citizens. The incidents highlight ongoing concerns about Bulgaria's inadequate care facilities for the elderly.
