A 46-year-old man sentenced in absentia to a total of 93 years in prison for migrant smuggling has been arrested in a coordinated police sting operation, authorities announced.
The arrest took place last week, following a multi-day surveillance operation.
The man was wanted on two separate convictions for smuggling migrants between 2013 and 2015 and faced fines totaling more than €1.5 million.
He is considered a key member of a criminal organization that transported undocumented migrants into the country, often in specially constructed hidden compartments in the floors of trucks.
Following his arrest, the man was taken before a prosecutor to begin serving his sentences.
