Arad County border authorities intercepted on Friday two groups of migrants from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as they attempted to leave the country hidden in two long-haul trucks.
Thus, eight people - five Pakistanis, two Nepalis and one Bangladeshi - were discovered at the Nadlac II Border Crossing Point in the trailer of a timber truck bound for France, driven by a Romanian.
At the Nadlac I Border Crossing Point, three migrants from Afghanistan were found during the customs clearance check in a long-haul truck traveling from Turkey to Hungary; they are asylum seekers in Romania, but "intended to fraudulently reach the Schengen Space", the Arad Border Police said.
