The detainee reportedly took advantage of the need for at least 33 persons: He picked them up in Irun (Gipuzkoa) and took them in a car to Iparralde, where he charged them with money in return.
The man was arrested on 2 July, when he was transporting two persons of Saharawi nationality in his car. On 4 July, a Baiona court held a speedy trial in which he was sentenced to 15 months in prison for a murder offence. He also banned him from entering the French State for five years.
