A native of Chernivtsi region – the organizer of the illegal trafficking of persons across the state border, who was hiding abroad – has been extradited to Ukraine and brought to the investigative department of the Security Service of Ukraine Office in Transcarpathian region.
It was proved that the organizer together with three accomplices – Vynogradiv district residents, in April-May 2013 illegally transported 15 illegal immigrants across the Ukrainian-Hungarian state border.
In May 2013, on the highway Khust-Vynogradiv, officers of the Security Service of Ukraine detained two cars in which two offenders were carrying four people from Sri Lanka and one Syrian. The detectives immediately identified one of their accomplice and the organizer of illegal trafficking channel.
Three members of the criminal gang were notified of suspicion of committing a crime under Part 3 of Art. 332 (illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
