People Trafficking Expansion into Murcia Foiled

Plans to expand a people smuggling gang into the Murcia region have been foiled after National Police arrested five members. Four of the five have been jailed following an appearance at San Javier court. The gang had been trying to establish itself in the La Manage region, charging 500 euros to transport people from North Africa. Police discovered that the gang was looking to charter a further five boats to expand their illegal enterprise.
