Six immigrants were discovered by officials of the Indirect Taxation Authority (ITA) during a lorry inspection at the Customs Office of Sarajevo.

During a regular control of the customs clearance of goods at the Sarajevo Customs Office, the ITA officials noticed a torn tarpaulin on the deck of a lorry with Bosnian licence plates.

A detailed inspection of the lorry discovered six hidden immigrants, five young men and one female person.

They said they came from Iraq, and that they entered the lorry in Livno by cutting the tarpaulin on the roof of the lorry. According to their further allegations, they received the information that the lorry was transporting goods to Italy which they planned to enter on board of the said lorry.

The ITA informed the competent police agency about the event, who then undertook measures within their own jurisdiction.
