Four Arrested for Smuggling Hundreds of Migrants into Switzerland
Four people from Ghana living in Italy have been arrested for smuggling around 200 migrants across the Italy-Switzerland border.
The four suspects, aged from 21 to 39, are legal residents of Italy and are suspected of smuggling the migrants from the Italian city of Como into the Swiss canton of Ticino.
According to Swiss Info, suspicions were raised when police investigators noted a vehicle that had crossed the border at Ronago, west of Como, 45 times in a month back in October.
A joint operation between Swiss and Italian police followed, resulting in the arrests. A 23-year-old Ghanaian woman was detained in December; with three more people taken into custody on Friday.
