The Hal-Vilvoorde Federal Judicial Police (PJF) arrested eight people suspected of being part of an international network of smugglers who brought Palestinian and Syrian nationals into Belgium via Athens, the Hal-Vilvoorde prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.

In addition to these eight suspects, two others were deprived of their liberty in Greece and another in Sweden. A search in Greece led to the seizure of 160,000 euros, while a further 40,000 euros were confiscated in Belgium.
