In the narrow space of the double roof of the van, which was built for the purpose of human smuggling, customs agents discovered three teenagers aged 12, 14 and 17, citizens of Afghanistan, who were transported across the border. in inhumane conditions.
The case was discovered on September 10, 2020, approximately two hours after midnight, when a van with Subotica license plates, driven by a 38-year-old Ukrainian national, arrived at the exit side of the Batrovci crossing.
Thanks to the insistence of the customs officers who insisted on a detailed inspection of the suspicious vehicle, this attempt to smuggle the children was thwarted and the police arrested the smuggler.
Customs officials decided to conduct a detailed inspection of the van because the vehicle was eerily empty, with no luggage, cargo, or anything small, which is unusual on a long trip.
The smuggler-driver claimed that he went to Portugal on business and did not react when the team of customs officers began a detailed check.
After the leader of the customs team touched the light intended to illuminate the cabin with a tool, the entire mechanism fell off, which does not happen if someone does not touch the factory installed device.
The customs officer then directed the battery through the open hole and saw someone’s eye.
