Where the actual illegal immigrants, disguised as employees, were housed.
The coveted document allowed economic refugees to move freely through the Schengen area. Now the security forces struck: 36 Moroccans were found during morning raids by a total of 180 detectives from the Carinthian State Investigation Service and the financial police on 35 farms. But many other ‘stable boys’ were already in hiding. Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP): “The grooms were exploited under sometimes bad conditions and poorly paid.”
The gang raised at least 6,000 to 8,000 euros per person. The suspected boss of the group of perpetrators is in Graz-Jakomini prison on suspicion of smuggling (up to five years in prison). Cash and his Audi Q3 are confiscated.
