“The vehicle was driven by a man who had a driver’s license and a residence permit in Germany. There were six other people in the car. After a while, the patrol discovered that these were men from Syria, “the spokeswoman explained the circumstances. “The driver told the patrol that he was taking people from Vienna to Dortmund for a financial reward,” she added. With the addition that the solution of the case with suspected illegal migration was taken over by the foreign police.

It was similar in other cases, to which Central Bohemian customs officers called the Czech Police since October. They provided a total of 16 people as detected illegal migrants. The young men mostly claimed to be from Syria or North African countries.

In this context, Matějková recalled the cases from October, when on 21 October, customs officers found two people at the Naháč rest stop on the 29th kilometer of the D1 and on 26 October in the parking lot at the petrol station of the 52nd kilometer of the same highway they found three suspicious undocumented men around trucks. Apparently, in both cases, these were migrants who arrived on truck chassis. The cage also fell on the 52nd kilometer of the D1 motorway on 27 October, when a customs patrol discovered five undocumented persons. In all cases, it was a section of the motorway in the Benešov region, in the direction of Prague.

The case preceding the latest revelation relates to another motorway, the D5 in the Beroun region. At its 18th kilometer, a customs patrol stopped a truck heading for Pilsen at a petrol station on Monday, November 1. “She found two refugees in the chassis of the semi-trailer,” Matějková stated.
