Smuggler Promised Yacht but Offered a Small Boat to Migrants
September 11, 2024
A 33-year-old smuggler deceived 20 migrants by promising them a yacht for their journey to Italy, but instead showed them a small boat. The migrants paid a deposit of €1,000 and had planned the trip earlier due to a lack of work. The two suspects were arrested and will be held for 8 days while facing charges for illegal exit from the Republic and other offenses. The proceedings have been postponed to allow for legal representation.
