Spanish police have dismantled a trafficking ring that smuggled up to 2,500 Moroccan migrants into Spain via Romania, arresting four suspects in Murcia, AFP reports. The group allegedly charged €3,000 per person and organised around 50 trips over two years. Migrants flew into Romania before being transported to Spain. Authorities said the operation included a logistics hub in Romania and was carried out with support from Europol and Frontex.
