And he said later on, he didn't know about the Lars Matant case at the time, but he said later on he found out about it and said, oh, man, that's got to be the kid that I picked up.

especially Romani people who end up getting forced to beg on the streets or forced into hard labor if you're a man, that it doesn't necessarily target tourists.
