The Libyan Public Prosecutor’s Office announced the imprisonment of defendants as part of a gang that detains irregular immigrants, with the aim of forcing their families to pay sums of money for their release.
The office’s statement on Friday stated that the migrants belong to the state of Pakistan, and that members of the Sabratha Security Directorate carried out careful investigations into seizing the freedom of migrants after receiving them from the facilitator of transporting them to Italian territory by sea.
The statement stated that the judicial officer confirmed the veracity of the incident and succeeded in arresting the accused red-handed in the crime of detaining six immigrants who showed signs of cruel, degrading, and inhuman treatment.
The Deputy Prosecutor in the Public Prosecutor’s Office investigated the evidence available against the defendants, discovering their involvement in forming a gang engaged in human trafficking, organizing irregular migration, and detaining the freedom of migrants to achieve illegal material gains.
The prosecution ordered the defendants to be detained pending investigation, while the prosecution of the remaining members of the gang organization continues.
