Spain detains five for migrant smuggling
Five individuals were arrested in Spain on charges of collecting thousands of dollars from migrants in exchange for transporting them from the Melilla enclave to Europe, following an unprecedented influx of migrants in July that resulted in the deaths of dozens. The network was charging up to $10,500 to ferry migrants across boats quickly and avoid inspections. Four suspects were apprehended in Ceuta and Linyola de la Concepción, while the seventh is being held pending trial after attempting to transfer seven migrants via an unsafe boat. Many migrants are still sleeping in the streets of Ceuta, despite most of them being returned to Morocco by Spanish authorities.
