130 More Sweden-Stranded Bulgarian Citizens on Way Home

130 of the berry pickers that were stranded in Sweden are now being bussed to their home country, according to the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry.

A total of 88 berry pickers left Stockholm late on Sunday carried by two buses provided by the Foreign Ministry.

Another 42 stranded workers left earlier on Sunday carried by six Foreign Ministry minivans.

Currently, 29 people remain in the Bulgarian embassy in Stocholm. A bus is expected to arrive for them on Monday, collecting 17 workers stranded in ?rebro on the way back to Bulgaria.

The first group of 198 Bulgarian Roma arrived in Bulgaria last Friday.

The Bulgarian citizens had been lured to Sweden with the promise of work during the berry picking season.

Last Monday, a 43-year-old man was detained in Sweden suspected of human trafficking, after a number of the berry pickers reported to local police he had tricked them into making the trip.
