BUDAPEST: The Hungarian Customs police have arrested two Serbian and two Greece citizens in two separate incidents related to illegal border crossings. They also detained a total of 28 migrants from two different locations.
The Customs announced that the two Serbian citizens were arrested after midnight near Szeged for crossing the border illegally, and helping 19 migrants do the same.
The Greece’s were detained the same morning near the settlement of Reska near the border with Serbia while transporting nine Syrians in two vehicles. The Syrians “could not prove they were in Hungary legally,” a statement said.
The four suspects have been charged with illegal human trafficking, while all the migrants discovered during the police searches have submitted asylum requests and have been turned over to the immigration service, the Customs police said.
