The city of Görlitz is... - Authorities nab two smugglers and apprehend eleven individuals.
At a highway rest stop named Ander Neisse, officers from the Federal Agency for Technical Relief conducted a search on a camper van bearing a Spanish registration. They found a 26-year-old Indian driver and his 32-year-old companion, both of whom had valid Indian passports. However, the woman and her four-year-old child had no legal documents.
As the officers searched the van, they uncovered a hidden compartment in the rear section beneath the bed. Inside were four sleeping individuals. There were also five more people sleeping in the area over the cabin where the driver sat.
Upon further investigation, it came to light that the woman with her child and nine additional people were being smuggled into Germany. Among the smuggled individuals were ten people from India and one person from Sri Lanka. Smugglers had been tending to their care in Latvia. Throughout the journey, the group was only allowed to stop for fuel refills, and the smugglers had to remain in the vehicle. The smugglers were given only water to drink.
The driver and his passenger are currently facing charges of illegally transporting multiple foreigners to Germany and endangering one person's life. Following the prosecutor's request, a District Court judge in Görlitz approved pre-trial detention for the Indian smugglers.
