SINTESTI, Romania (Reuters) - In the villages surrounding Romanian capital Bucharest, the fires burning discarded electronic kit and car parts for scrap metal never stop.
A month of near daily raids has uncovered what appear to be organised crime networks recruiting long-ignored poor villagers to burn the waste, Romania s environment enforcement chief said.
Commissioners from the Environmental Guard, part of the Environment Ministry, have seen scores of illegal fires in backyards, fields carpeted with trash or near river beds during their swoops on the villages.
