Police detained an 18-year-old student for transporting 57 migrants. He was caught on the Trakia highway.
The migrants are Afghan nationals, none of them have identity documents. The student allegedly “needed financial resources”. He was contacted by a person who offered him to transport migrants from Karnobat to the Bulgarian border with Serbia, for which he would receive BGN 10,000 (EUR 5,000). He agreed and was provided with a truck owned by another person.
The Afghan citizens had agreed with traffickers in Turkey to take them through Bulgaria for about 3,000 euros per person. Some of the migrants paid the amounts for their trafficking to persons in Turkey. With guides they reached the fence of the Turkish-Bulgarian border and during the dark part of the day with the help of folding ladders and accompanied by traffickers crossed the territory of Bulgaria.
They walked for about 3-4 days, reached the Karnobat village of Krumovo, where they were joined by other migrants, and their number reached 57 people. The student put them in the cargo area of the car and they left in the direction of the border with Serbia.
Around 8:00 a.m. at km 196 on the "Trakia" highway, the car was stopped by the police. The 18-year-old was detained for 72 hours.
