Spanish reports link Melilla crisis to organized crime

Spanish security reports reveal that the migration crisis in Ceuta is no longer merely a social phenomenon; it has evolved into an organized criminal economy. Smuggling networks have successfully modified their methods, now organizing direct sea journeys from North Africa to the Spanish coasts using speedboats, charging between 6,000 and 10,000 euros per trip. The costs can rise to 20-25,000 euros for transporting migrants to Europe through complex routes. These networks exploit the region’s conditions and have managed to adapt to intensified surveillance, facing arrests but continuously seeking new and flexible methods. They are considered key players in leveraging the desire to reach Europe for profit, highlighting the dangers of their organization and their impact on the black economy. The reports also confirm that the crisis is now linked to a vast web of maritime smuggling routes.
