A Transcarpathian man who organised a scheme to smuggle men across the border was recently detained by border guards of the Mukachevo border guard detachment near the border with Hungary.

The operational officers jointly with the criminal analysis unit of the Main operational and search department of the Mukachevo border guard detachment are taking active measures to detect the organizers of illegal trafficking of persons across the state border of Ukraine.

Thus, in the framework of the information provided by the border guard detachment operatives, a border patrol stopped a vehicle on the outskirts of the village of Astei, where, in addition to the driver, there were four other men - residents of Transcarpathia and Lviv region. The men were unable to explain the purpose of their stay in the border area. They were taken to the "Luzhanka" border guard division.

During the filtration measures, officers of the Main operational and search department of Mukachevo border guard detachment revealed that the driver, a 43-year-old resident of Irshava, had organised the smuggling of four people across the Ukrainian-Hungarian border. The Transcarpathian estimated his services at USD 3,500-4,500 per person. In total, the smuggler planned to receive USD 16 thousand from his compatriots. Border guards sent a report to the National Police about the detection of signs of a crime in the actions of the Irshava resident. Reports on administrative offences were drawn up against the other men. Their actions will soon be reviewed by the court.
