WAZIRABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has made a significant breakthrough in their efforts to crack down on human smuggling, with the arrest of Aslam Ashraf, a key suspect in the Greece boat tragedy, from Wazirabad.

Ashraf resident of  Saroke Cheema, has allegedly taken sums upwards of Rs2.5 million to facilitate illegal emigration to different European states.

Reportedly, the smuggler would then facilitate illegal migration through perilous donkey routes, endangering human lives. Ashraf  sent two individuals which are still missing in the Greece boat incident, highlighting the bizarre consequences of such dangerous and illegal practices.

Meanwhile, the FIA has developed crucial indictment evidence-such as victim complaints and records connecting Ashraf to the crime-for a possibly formidable case to be built against him.

As inquiries continue, the FIA works diligently at braking up other smuggling networks in order to quell such Islamic tragedies in the future.

Earlier, The spokesperson of the Foreign Office has announced on Monday that four Pakistanis have been identified among those killed in Saturday’s boat capsizing south of the Greece island of Crete.

In a statement, the Foreign Office spokesperson said, “We announce with deep sorrow that, according to the latest information shared by the Greek authorities, four Pakistanis have been identified among those killed in Saturday’s boat capsizing south of the Greek island of Crete.”
