International human trafficking network dismantled (National Guard)

An international human trafficking network was dismantled recently by the National Guard districts in Sfax and Ben Arous. The network is essentially made up of four people, including an individual wanted in an ordinary criminal case, the Directorate General of the National Guard said on Sunday. Members of the network had been facilitating the entry of undocumented sub-Saharan African migrants in Tunisia and helping them cross western borders to reach Sfax, the Directorate General said. A detention warrant was issued for members of the network; their vehicles and sums of money were seized. Source: Agence Tunis Afrique Presse
