More than 30 migrants discovered in trucks

In a traffic control in southern France, a truck has been stopped in which 30 Pakistanis were hidden. The police discovered her at a check at a toll booth near the Italian border.

According to the public prosecutor in Nice, the Pakistani refugees, including three young people, were handed over to the Italian authorities. The driver of the truck, also from Pakistan, was arrested.

Investigators are now investigating whether smuggling networks and clients are behind the incident. If this is not the case, according to a spokesman for the authorities, the driver of the truck will immediately be brought before a criminal judge and charged with aiding and abetting illegal immigration. 

Only recently had an illegal entry into Europe by truck a dead end. On the night of October 23, in an industrial area east of London, the bodies of 31 men and eight women were discovered in a truck refrigerated container. According to current police evidence, the dead are Vietnamese citizens .

Authorities believe that they tried to illegally get to Britain. The driver is in custody, another man was arrested on Friday in Dublin. Arrests were also made in Vietnam in this case.
