The Ukrainian citizen is already known to the border guards, because more than a year ago he was convicted in Lithuania for violating the procedure for transporting excise goods.

In Lithuania’s Pasvalsky district, border guards detained a Ukrainian citizen suspected of illegally transporting four illegal migrants from India. Delfi reported this on Wednesday, December 18.

As mentioned, foreigners have applied for asylum in Latvia, but have not received a decision on their application.

Border guards stopped to inspect a Renault Megan that entered Lithuania from Latvia.

The vehicle was driven by a 48-year-old Ukrainian with a temporary residence permit in Latvia. There were four other passengers in the car, all men. As a result of the investigation, the border guards learned that the driver was transporting four foreigners – two 22-year-olds, a 23-year-old and a 43-year-old Indian citizen.

By law, Indians were not allowed to leave Latvia while their asylum applications were pending.

A common procedure is when migrants entering the EU from Belarus ask for asylum in the first EU country, and after the procedures start, they look for an opportunity to escape to Western Europe. Latvia and Lithuania are only transit states for illegal immigrants.

It was noted that the driver of the car was known to the border guards, because more than a year ago he was convicted in Lithuania for violating the procedure for transporting excise goods.

A pre-trial investigation was launched into the illegal transportation of people across the state border. For such a crime, the law provides imprisonment for up to eight years.

In the past, Polish border guards recorded almost 40 attempts to cross the state border from the territory of Belarus and detained two accomplices in illegal border crossing – citizens of Ukraine and Estonia.

While in Slovakia, two Ukrainian citizens were detained as part of an investigation into a wave of bypasses and threats to critical infrastructure.
