Trafficker arrested in Bregenz
The head of a trafficking gang was caught by the police in Bregenz (Vorarlberg), according to information from the police. The man, a 21-year-old Turk, is believed to have brought 141 people to Austria illegally.
A 21-year-old man who is alleged to have brought at least 141 people to and through Austria has been arrested in Bregenz. The public prosecutor's office in Ried im Innkreis (Upper Austria) had previously been on the trail of the Turkish man with the pseudonym "Rido Kurdi". Three smuggler drivers who were traveling on his behalf have already been identified. Two of them, a 52-year-old and a 43-year-old, are heavily incriminating their client, the police reported on Monday.
The 21-year-old was staying in Austria illegally and claimed to be living off irregular financial contributions from his family. However, he bragged about his expensive lifestyle on social media. He did not confess to the accusation of smuggling. Investigations into other members of the trafficking ring are still ongoing.
