Daily Express: Grupare de români, acuzată că face parte dintr-o rețea care îi taxează exorbitant pe turiștii din Londra

An investigation by Daily Express reveals that a group of Romanians may be controlling tourist rickshaw operations near Westminster Bridge, charging exorbitant rates. The report highlights unauthorized operators in busy tourist areas, particularly rickshaws, which have been accused of demanding high fares for short distances. Legal operators report intimidation from this group, which uses identical signs displaying high prices. The investigation also notes issues with unlicensed ice cream vendors near the London Eye. In response to these practices, UK authorities plan to implement stricter regulations in 2026, including fare limits and background checks for operators. However, many current operators seem unprepared for these changes, raising concerns about enforcement in tourist-heavy areas.
