Naglite
Naglite (''-lee-te'') ( bg, Наглите), literally The Insolent Ones, was a Bulgarian criminal group involved in more than ten high-profile kidnappings in 2008–09. They asked for ransoms of several hundred thousand euros in each case, and in the event of delay or insufficient payment, cut fingers off their victims. In a December 2009 police action code-named "Naglite", more than 25 people were arrested in several Bulgarian cities. Naglite kept their victims blindfolded and none managed to see any of the kidnappers' faces. Nine people were brought to trial in 2010, four of whom were found guilty in April 2012, and again in 2014 by the Supreme Court of Cassation. They were convicted for a total of eight kidnappings and one attempted kidnapping. Three of them got an 18-year sentence and one a ten-year sentence.

Bulgarian Mafia
The Bulgarian mafia ( bg, мафия) is a series of organized crime elements originating from Bulgaria. Organized crime groups and activities Modern organized crime is associated with the early 1990s, when weak power and continuous change of governments during Bulgaria's transition to democracy created conditions for economic and power groups to flourish. Bulgarian organized crime groups are involved in a wide range of activities, including drug trafficking, cigarette smuggling, human trafficking, prostitution, illicit antiquities trafficking, extortion (often under the cover of ostensible security and insurance companies), racketeering, various financial crimes, car theft and the arms trade. Bulgarian organized crime groups mainly use security and insurance companies such as SIC and VIS as fronts for criminal activities. In 2020, the Italian police, together with the Bulgarian police, dismantled a Bulgarian gang that operated mainly in the Italian region of Tuscany, but also i ...

Bulgarians
Bulgarians ( bg, българи, Bǎlgari, ) are a nation and South Slavic ethnic group native to Bulgaria and the rest of Southeast Europe. Etymology Bulgarians derive their ethnonym from the Bulgars. Their name is not completely understood and difficult to trace back earlier than the 4th century AD, but it is possibly derived from the Proto-Turkic word ''*bulģha'' ("to mix", "shake", "stir") and its derivative ''*bulgak'' ("revolt", "disorder"). Alternative etymologies include derivation from a compound of Proto-Turkic (Oghuric) ''*bel'' ("five") and ''*gur'' ("arrow" in the sense of "tribe"), a proposed division within the Utigurs or Onogurs ("ten tribes"). Citizenship According to the Art.25 (1) of Constitution of Bulgaria, a Bulgarian citizen shall be anyone born to at least one parent holding a Bulgarian citizenship, or born on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, should they not be entitled to any other citizenship by virtue of origin.
