GALERIE FOTO: Cerșetorii, în pelerinaj la Iași. Câți bani a strâns o ucraineancă, după ce s-a prefăcut că are grave probleme de sănătate: A făcut semnul victoriei din scaunul cu rotile

During the pilgrimage for St. Parascheva in Iași, many beggars, including those from Ukraine and Moldova, exploit the situation to earn money. Local police can only confiscate the collected amounts and issue fines, but beggars quickly return to the streets to recover their losses. A notable case involved a 24-year-old Ukrainian woman pretending to be disabled, who continued to smile and pose for photos despite being fined. The phenomenon of begging during this event is lucrative, with some individuals using children or wheelchairs to maximize their earnings. Police acknowledge that as long as people continue to give money, the issue will persist.
