Nine human-trafficking suspects detained over holiday period in Latvia
Over the holiday period, border guards in Augšdaugava Municipality and Daugavpils detained nine offenders who were transporting persons who had illegally crossed the state border. The State Border Guard reported on the matter.
The incidents occurred on 25 June, when border guard officials conducted control operations in the region. Those detained were involved in the illegal transportation of migrants across the state border.
This case is part of a wider problem that Latvia's border guard faces on the eastern border. In recent years, illegal migration flows have increased, and the border guard has intensified control measures to suppress this type of violation.
