Kurdish security forces arrest a migrant smuggler
|
[Rudaw] Kurdistan Region’s security forces (Asayish) on Monday announced the arrest of one of the world’s most notorious migrant smugglers.
"Following the launch of an investigation, Asayish forces, based on exchange of intel and upon the request of Interpol and as per a ruling by the judge, a great human trafficker and smuggler was arrested," said Asayish, only disclosing the suspect’s initials and his nickname, Scorpion.
Barzan Kamal Majeed, mostly known by the Western media as Scorpion, has been accused by some European countries of smuggling people to these countries.
The arrest comes three days after the BBC featured him in an article. The BBC team said they interviewed him face-to-face in a mall in Sulaimani.
Each year, tens of thousands of predominantly young individuals depart Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, seeking improved prospects in Europe. In pursuit of a better life, they navigate perilous smuggling routes, risk their lives in harsh and freezing travel conditions, and undertake treacherous sea crossings to reach mainland Europa
 ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
or the United Kingdom.
