People Smugglers Who Trafficked Albanians Across the English Channel Arrested in France
The smuggling ring was dismantled this week after police had been surveilling the “well organised” network since late September, reports France Bleu.
Two Frenchmen and three Albanians charged illegal migrants €6,000 (£5,000) for passage to Britain from the port of Roscoff in the French administrative department of Finistère, Brittany.
The smugglers picked up their human cargo in Albania, and in order to not raise suspicions, smugglers transported the illegals in the backs of cars so as to “blend in with the rest of the traffic flow in Roscoff”.
However, suspicion arose when smugglers began using larger vehicles. A 39-year-old resident of Finistère was pulled over by port police on his way to board a ferry to Britain. Three Albanian migrants, a woman and two men, were found behind furniture at the back of his rented mini van.
