Desmantela rede de facilitação de migração ilegal na Ressano Garcia

Migration authorities dismantle a network composed of Malawian citizens, which was engaged in facilitating illegal migration at the border of Ressano Garcia, Moamba district, Maputo province.

In the operation, the joint force detained 21 foreigners, 17 being Malawian nationals, 3 Burundians and 1 Tanzanian as they tried to illegally make their way to neighboring South Africa.

The spokesman for the Provincial Services of Migration, in Maputo, Juca Bata, explained quoted by Radio Mozambique that in connection with the case, three Malawian citizens are being held as leaders of the group and may soon be presented to the Justice institutions.

"They are the ones who from Malawi were assisting this illegal immigration, hence they had to be arrested and not detained like the others are at the moment," he said. (RM)
