Bulgarian authorities arrested
eight suspected members of a gang smuggling migrants into
Europe, including four high-profile criminals, Europol said
today. The gang charged up to EUR 6,000 per person and smuggled
over 130 people from Turkey into Bulgaria before continuing on
to other European destinations via the Western Balkan route.
Syrian and Jordanian nationals served as the group's main
leaders, coordinating criminal activities with other smugglers
in Turkey and along the Western Balkan route.
