Migrants Held in BPOLI Lud Detention Centers

In a recent development, the Federal Police in Goerlitz, Germany, have taken ten migrants into custody, following a series of incidents involving suspected illegal entry and smuggling.

The events unfolded on Sunday, when two Moroccans (20 and 24 years old) and two Somalis (14 and 25 years old) were detected crossing the border via a pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Deschka, Neißeaue municipality. Two Ethiopian women (both 25) and four Eritreans (25, 27, 27, 31) were also apprehended.

The alleged smuggled individuals are currently still at the station, facing potential rejection to Poland. The fifth Eritrean (30) was arrested and is currently being questioned. Notably, the 30-year-old Eritrean suspect is a resident of Cottbus with a German residence permit.

Investigations have been initiated against this Eritrean suspect on suspicion of smuggling. The suspect is believed to be directly involved in the illegal entry of the other six apprehended individuals.
