Second migrant smuggling ring targeted

Police believe they have uncovered a second migrant trafficking network, following an islandwide operation in which five Syrians were detained. According to police sources, the latest operation has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, as evidence points to another trafficking ring. The same sources said the network is bringing Syrian refugees from Lebanon in the same manner as the previous ring, for payment ranging from €2,000 to €3,500 for each migrant. The five suspects arrested are of Syrian origin, currently legally on the island as asylum seekers or under temporary international protection, with connections in Syria and Lebanon. They
