Indian citizens involved in migrant trafficking temporary held into custody

Two Indian citizens, who tried to help several of their fellow countrymen to cross the Romanian state border illegally, were detained by prosecutors from the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Timis Court, and the judges ordered that they be held into custody for 30 days.

They took 15 Indian citizens, some of them with temporary identity documents for asylum seekers, to several locations in Timisoara. One of the traffickers received a 30-day pre-trial detention warrant at the end of February, and the other was placed under house arrest, which measure he violated, while attempting to leave Romania illegally. Now he has also been held into custody, according to a press release of the Timisoara Border Police sent on Monday to AGERPRES.
