German authorities conducted a large-scale raid against an international human smuggling gang early Wednesday, police said in a statement. More than 1,000 police officers searched dozens of homes, stores and offices across western and southern Germany and arrested 10 suspects, including two lawyers.
According to the daily Bild newspaper, several employees of immigration offices were bribed in the scam. Raids were carried out in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria, Hamburg and Berlin where police seized assets and collected evidence.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser thanked police and prosecutors for the 'massive strike against international organized migrant smuggling.' 'In the fight against smuggling gangs, we need precisely this high level of investigative pressure and this consistent crackdown,' the minister added. 'We will continue this tough approach against organized migrant smuggling.' The investigation focused on North Rhine-Westphalia, where the 10 suspects were detained.
