Nine foreign citizens without the right to travel in the Schengen area, detected by border police

Border police officers from the Nădlac Border Police Sector of Romania carried out random and unsystematic checks on the communication routes near the border. On this occasion, a vehicle registered in Romania, driven by a Romanian citizen, was stopped for inspection.

Following the inspection of the vehicle, 9 foreign citizens without travel documents were discovered hidden in the semi-trailer.

The individuals were taken over and transported to the sector headquarters for checks where, following these, the border police determined that they were citizens of Syria, Egypt and Sri Lanka.

Considering the issues found, the border police have launched investigations into the commission of migrant smuggling crimes for the Romanian citizen and attempted fraudulent crossing of the state border for foreign citizens, with the necessary legal measures to be taken upon their completion.
