Quotes

Polish border guards, in collaboration with Europol, have dismantled a major organized criminal network involved in smuggling migrants from Belarus and Russia into the European Union.

The coordinated operation led to the arrest of 11 people, predominantly citizens of Poland, Russia, and Ukraine.

The network’s operations targeted migrants predominantly from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, who typically traveled legally to Belarus, either directly or via Russia.

Authorities seized electronic equipment and some 80,000 zloty (€18,400) in cash, further weakening the network’s operational capacity, according to Europol.

The network has been linked to smuggling incidents involving around 600 illegal migrants.
