Two residents of Bukovyna detained in Lviv region for attempting to illegally transport men to the EU

In the Lviv region, two men were detained while trying to transport two individuals across the border to Poland in a specially equipped "box" of a minivan. The "businessmen" demanded from $12,000 to $16,000 for their services.

The offenders offered the men illegal transportation to Europe via the western border. For this purpose, they hid them in a specially prepared compartment of the minivan, which was equipped for the illegal transportation of people. During the detention, law enforcement officers discovered two men who were attempting to be taken to Poland.

Currently, both "businessmen" are detained, and the case has been transferred to court for further investigation. The illegal activity was halted thanks to the joint efforts of border guards and law enforcement officers.

It has been established that the organizers of the illegal journey specialized in such transportations, earning substantial profits from their clients.
