Counterfeit work documents and qualifications are being traded on the black market in eastern Europe for as little as 470 pounds to help Bulgarians and Romanians get jobs in the UK. An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph found fake certificates and paperwork were readily available for a range of jobs, including nurses, engineers and HGV drivers.

For just 470 pounds, Bulgarians in the country's capital Sofia can buy bogus degree and language qualification certificates needed to set them on the road to a work permit and a nursing job with the National Health Service in Britain.
