After the tractor accident that killed seven people on the Bavarian Autobahn 94, the suspected driver was taken into custody. Wolfgang Beckstein, head of the Traunstein Public Prosecutor’s Office, is concerned about the current situation. “Unfortunately, we now have cases almost every day where 15 to 20 people are smuggled in unsecured in small vans,” the prosecutor said.
Beckstein continued that the Traunstein Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued several arrest warrants for smuggling crimes almost every day in recent months.
More smugglers in custody
Two suspected smugglers were arrested in Bavaria on Saturday. They were in one of two vehicles that, according to federal police, had evaded control on the B307 at significantly excessive speeds. Both drivers sped back to Austria, it was said. Earlier, one of the fully occupied rental cars on the Sylvensteinsee dam was driven towards a federal police officer. He saved himself by stepping aside.
Syrians with Swedish passports
One of the vehicles eventually came to a stop at a roadblock in Austria. All five prisoners escaped, but the Syrians were later captured and arrested, Tyrol police said. The second vehicle was stopped at the Hochfelln rest area, federal police said. Only the driver and passenger remained in the car. The two native Syrians with Swedish passports were arrested and on Saturday a judge ordered them taken into custody.
