A suspected smuggler from Belarus has been remanded in custody in Saxony. As the Berggießhübel Federal Police Inspectorate announced on Monday, the 25-year-old is alleged to have been at the wheel of an escort vehicle during a smuggling of refugees on September 13 this year. At that time, federal police officers had provisionally arrested a 31-year-old man from Ukraine, who had illegally brought 29 men to Germany in a van. Those concerned gave Syria as a country of origin.
The man from Belarus had controlled the so-called pilot vehicle, from which possible controls are to be spied out. His Ukrainian accomplice could still be caught on the run in the direction of the Czech Republic.
