On Wednesday, members of the BiH Border Police Unit Gorica intercepted an attempted smuggling operation involving eight citizens of the People's Republic of China and two citizens of the Republic of Turkey.

The smuggling attempt was uncovered during a routine border check on a VW Transporter with BiH registration plates in the border area near Posusje. A BiH citizen drove the vehicle, A.T. (born 1998), the BiH Border Police said.

Following the discovery, the on-duty prosecutor from the BiH Prosecutor's Office was informed, leading to an investigation. Under the prosecutor’s directive, A.T. was questioned as a suspect, while the foreign nationals involved were interviewed as witnesses.

An indictment for “Human Trafficking” will be filed against the BiH citizen with the BiH Prosecutor's Office. Meanwhile, the foreign nationals were transferred to the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs for further processing.
