Dutch Man Arrested for Supplying Boats to Human Smugglers

A 44-year-old Turkish man was arrested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for allegedly supplying boats and motors to human smugglers facilitating dangerous crossings of the English Channel. His arrest was made possible through collaboration among Dutch, Belgian, and UK authorities, including Eurojust and Europol. The man faces charges of involvement in a criminal organization and will be extradited to Belgium for trial. The Netherlands has been identified as a hotspot for smuggling operations, with this year alone witnessing the deaths of 50 migrants attempting the perilous journey to the UK.
