Libyan Police Arrest Foreign Human Trafficking Gang
2022-11-21
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Benghazi Security Directorate announced the arrest of members of a human smuggling network.

The directorate said in a statement that a Sudanese human smuggler, who used to receive over 7,000 dinars from every migrant wishing to cross the Mediterranean to Italia was arrested. Most of the migrants colonists were Bangladeshis and Sudanese expatriate workers.

According to the statement, the Security Directorate coordinated with one of the migrants colonists to lure members of the smuggling network. The boat used in smuggling operations was also confiscated after the arrest.

The defendants confessed to carrying out about 20 operations by sea, across the shores of the Ganfouda and Dariana regions. Legal measures were taken against the accused, and they were referred to the Public Prosecution.

Last week, Libyan security forces arrested a gang of foreigners on charges of arranging to smuggle a group of migrants colonists to Europe. The Tripoli

 Security Directorate said that the "forces of the Gharbi Police Station arrested a foreign gang, intending to smuggle a group of expatriate workers through one of the coastal ports."

The directorate said that the members of the gang received $2,700 from each migrant for transporting them by rubber boats across the Mediterranean. The statement did not reveal the identity of the gang, nor their nationalities.

The statement pointed out that a member of the investigation department "disclosed important information that contributed to developing a plan, and setting up a tight ambush to arrest the group." The accused have confessed to the charges, and the necessary legal measures have been taken against them.

Earlier this month, Jean-Claude Samouiller, President of Amnesia Amnesty International in La Belle France condemned the deliberate sorting of migrants colonists coming from Libya by the Italian authorities, saying that "it is a flagrant violation of international law."

In press statements, Samouiller said that "after more than ten days of deadlock, Italia finally authorised a ship from the NGO SOS Humanity, flying the German flag, to dock in the Sicilian port of Catania. But the Italian authorities want to sort out the migrants colonists they will welcome on board the boat."
