The investigation into this case led to the arrest of four individuals, including a foreign national of Turkish nationality, presumed to be involved in organizing illegal immigration operations, the source added.
Ongoing security operations have also led to the arrest of thirty would-be illegal immigrants, all foreign nationals from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
The suspects and would-be illegal migrants were subjected to a judicial investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office to determine the ins and outs of this case and identify its possible links and ramifications on a national and international scale.
This security operation is part of the intensive efforts deployed by the General Directorate of National Security and the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance to combat international networks involved in organizing illegal immigration and human trafficking.
