Illegal migration attempt in Djerba: organiser and provider arrested
Three illegal migration attempts from the island of Djerba were foiled by Coastguard last week. The latest took place on the night of Sunday, November 6, 2016. The organiser and his provider were arrested along with 11 young people who were about to sail off from Sidi Jmour (Delegation of Houmt Souk) to Italy, a security source told TAP. The alleged organiser was arrested during a search of a point of sale and repair of boat engines where two engines, compasses and GPS equipment were found. Nine other people were intercepted in two illegal migration attempts, one from Boughrara and the other from Sidi Jmour, besides the seizure of boats used for this purpose.
