A dramatic incident occurred on Sunday, November 3, on the A8 near Rosenheim! The federal police have temporarily arrested a 29-year-old taxi driver who comes from Afghanistan. The driver transported four Syrian migrants who were traveling without papers. The circumstances of the trip throw a dark light on possible smuggling!

In the early hours of the morning, the federal police stopped the taxi that drove towards Rosenheim. While the driver was able to come up with a German settlement permit, his passengers, men between the ages of 26 and 34, had no documents with them. They reported that their trip was organized along the notorious "Balkan route". But the taxi driver denied having known about anything. He claimed to have only accepted a telephone driving job. However, the investigation shows that there was no request for this nightly trip at the taxi center in the Berchtesgadener Land district and the taximeter was also not switched on!

Investigations run at full speed

everyone involved was brought to the federal police in Rosenheim, where the taxi driver was interrogated. After completing the measures, he was allowed to go home without his passengers. The four Syrians, on the other hand, were taken to a reception center for refugees in Munich. The investigation into suspicion of the inlet of foreigners continues and show how serious the federal police take the fight against illegal migration!
