Italian police arrest man who provided truck in 2019 UK smuggling deaths

June 12, 2021

 

Italian police arrested a man wanted by Britain in connection with a people-smuggling plot that led to the death of 39 Vietnamese migrants in the back of a truck in 2019.

 

Stefan Damian Dragos, a 28-year-old Romanian citizen, is accused of providing the truck that transported the migrants to England, police said Saturday in a statement.

 

Dragos was arrested north of Milan in the town of Cinisello Balsamo on a UK arrest warrant. The statement said Dragos, โ€œbelongs to a criminal organization dedicated to illegal immigration.โ€

 

Essex police in southeast England said he is charged with โ€œconspiracy to assist unlawful immigration and encouraging or assisting the commission of an offense.โ€

 

The migrants โ€” the youngest of whom were two 15-year-old boys โ€” suffocated in the sealed metal container as they were being brought to Britain to begin new lives in October 2019. Their bodies, many naked or half-clothed, were found in a gruesome pile, and bloody handprints were found on the inside of the containerโ€™s doors. At least one of the victims had texted a series of messages to her family as she suffocated.
