135,000 Illegal Bulgarian Emigrants Live in Italy

Number of illegally sojourned Bulgarians in the Apennines, in August last year, was 135,000 people, says a research of Financial Guard of Italy. This number is twice as much it was expected.
Before Bulgaria becomes an EU member, associations and institutions in Italy believed that Bulgaria presence counts about 60,000-70,000 people.
The research also shows that the most emigrants in Italy are the Romanians -870,000, followed by the Chinese- 630,000 people, Albanians -280,000 and others.

Seems too small a number. I've heard Italians complain that the country is infested with them.

I agree. There was a time that the government claimed that there was 800,000 immigrants total in the country..this was only a few years ago too. Realistically the number of albanians is in the millions I would say.

Bulgarians/Romanians or gypsies? I'm just wondering...

The "Romanians" we have in France and linked to criminality are actually nothing but Gypsy Romas.

Albanians on the other hand are notorious mafiosi/pimps.

We have a lot of romanians too in Spain. I don´t know amounts but the rate crimes and robbery note this.

I've heard Albanians say there are 800,000 Arbershe (Albanians who came after the Ottoman's came to Europe) and 2 million if you count recent immigrants and their children. So the statement of millions is correct. Accepting the figures claimed that albanians means that there are close to 3 million in Italy.
