IPOH (Bernama): The Perak Immigration Department has crippled a human-trafficking syndicate that has been smuggling Indian nationals into Europe for the last 10 years.
The department arrested the masterminds – comprising a local family of three, a man, his wife and their son.
“The modus operandi was that the Indian nationals would be brought in by a syndicate that would contact the husband-and-wife team who would look for civilians to take them across the Malaysia-Thailand border before sending them to Europe,” Kamalludin told a press conference at the Home Ministry Complex here on Thursday night.
Kamalludin said each of the Indian nationals would have to pay up to RM5,000 to be smuggled into Thailand before heading on to Europe.
