A 28-year-old Romanian driver is under criminal investigation after he was caught trying to smuggle 19 migrants out of the country, hiding them in the lorry he was driving among car parts he was transporting to France.
"During the checks, our colleagues established that the persons are citizens from Congo, Cameroon, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Guinea and Bangladesh, some of them being asylum seekers, and others legally entered our country," the Arad Border Police said on Friday.
The Romanian driver is under investigation for smuggling migrants and the foreigners for attempting to cross the state border fraudulently.
