(ANSA)- Milan, February 11 – Police in Milan province and elsewhere in Italy arrested a number of suspected people smugglers Wednesday who charged Eritreans up to 1300 euros to enter Italy illegally en route to northern Europe, police said.
Eritreans paid from 250 euros to as much as 1300 be passed through Italy on their way to Milan after landing in Sicily with final destination Germany, France or Sweden, police sources said.
The Africans could be obliged to wait for weeks along the way before receiving a ride in a van or a false passport and air ticket, the sources said.
As many as 25 arrest warrants were being carried out by the Milan flying squad with at least 14 people arrested while fake documents were forged in Athens and then sent to Milan.
The probe began in September 2013 after a car with five Eritreans aboard was intercepted in Monza heading for the frontier.
A Brazilian at the wheel of the car provided important details to start the inquiry into the network, said the sources.

some times the accusations are based on a mere trivial suspicions.there are many ways the authority can accuse someone of and put him|her into that category.for instance if someone supports the survived Eritreans in Italy,from the authoritys point of view he/she is a suspect human trafficker.i personally know some guys who fall into that category and are under house arrest,since 2010 and no solution in sight.their only crime was just giving shelter and food to their fellow men/women.some times the headlines are misleading and not trustworthy.every person on this picture has his/her own story to tell and until they are proven guilty they are innocent.as an Eritrean,the main source of human trafficking is inside Eritrea.
