The Italian Carabinieri police on Wednesday carried out a nationwide operation targeting eight people suspected of organizing an illegal migrant trafficking network.
The suspects, including Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian nationals, are accused of smuggling migrants, including minors, investigative sources said.
One of the suspects, a Turin-based lawyer placed under mandatory residence arrest, allegedly helped the network obtain residence permits for undocumented migrants in exchange for money, the sources said.
