Illegal migrants are armed by criminal gangs
Published 2023-11-19
It may become more difficult and more risky than so far to stop illegal immigration to Europe. This since the organized crime syndicates started equipping the migrants with weapons.
Reports are now coming from the Serbian-Hungarian border that the Albanian mafia in Kosovo has started supplying the large crowds of illegal welfare migrants trying to force their way into Europe with weapons. The information comes from the Serbian authorities.
It is in connection with extensive crackdowns against the escalating illegal human traffic across the border that Serbian police have discovered that the migrants are increasingly armed. When investigating where the weapons come from, it has been found that the supplier in most cases is the Albanian mafia based in Kosovo.
The Minister of the Interior of Serbia gave a speech
The information was confirmed by Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic in a speech to the nation on Thursday. He said that a large number of handguns had been seized by the border police in connection with stopping illegal border crossings.
The weapons have been traced back to organized criminal groups that operate in Pristina and that make money by variously facilitating the illegal migrants to cross the border to share in the European prosperity.
- They are not migrants, they are organized criminal gangs, and we are fighting them, Gasic said.
He underlined that the Albanian mafia in Kosovo supports these organized groups, not only by supplying them with weapons but also in other ways, including transport and supplies.
Widespread raids against illegal migrants
In late October, hundreds of Serbian police were mobilized and deployed to guard the Serbian-Hungarian border and nearby settlements. This after different phalanxes of illegal migrants ended up in armed conflict with each other, which resulted in several deaths.
In the following weeks, Serbian authorities arrested nearly 5,000 illegal migrants in the areas of Subotica, Zombor, Nagykikinda and Pirot in the southeastern parts of the country. At the same time, nine machine guns, five pistols, more than 1,600 weapon cartridges, hundreds of passports and small quantities of narcotics were seized.
During the operation, eight people were arrested for people smuggling and another 190 people were prosecuted for various other crimes.
One million entered during the migrant chaos of 2015
When the migrant chaos was at its worst in 2015, around one million illegal migrants entered Europe via the so-called Western Balkan route, of which Serbia is a part. According to official figures, the most popular route for illegal immigration remains the land route through the Western Balkans.
Since the Serbian authorities do not deport those arrested , but only transport them back from the north to the south border, many of the illegal migrants are on the move again and in a few days reach the Hungarian border which they again try to force to enter EU.

Iraqis tried to cheat their way to engineering degrees
Published 2023-11-19
A migrant from Iraq is convicted of using a false document after using false documents to try to deceive himself with academic credentials and qualified jobs as an engineer for which he in reality lacks the skills.
Fake diplomas are becoming increasingly common among migrants in Sweden. But with the help of fake documents, people trick themselves into jobs such as doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, etc., for which they lack the skills.
In a current case, the review authority UHR became suspicious when there were misspellings and other oddities in what was claimed to be a diploma from Iraq that a 40-year-old migrant wanted to have validated in Sweden so that he could take a job as an engineer here.
And during a check with the listed university in Baghdad, it turned out that the document that the 40-year-old sent in to the Swedish authorities was a forgery. The measure was reported to the police and the Iraqi migrant was brought to justice.
Sentenced only to a fine
The man is now sentenced for using a false document. The Södertälje district court, however, takes a lenient view of the crime. The penalty stops at a suspended sentence and a few thousand Swedish kroner in fines. He is also allowed to stay in Sweden and is not deported.
A fake engineer in the wrong place poses a life-threatening danger in connection with a house or bridge construction that could collapse in the worst case. Fake foreign doctors, who have also been discovered, can similarly pose a life-threatening danger to patients.
The 40-year-old admits the act but excuses it by saying that in 2007 he had to leave Iraq in a hurry and then did not bring the genuine documents. Why he was not able to requisition them later during the roughly 15 years he stayed in Sweden is not clear.
He presented in interrogations and in court a long story about how he allegedly sent his brother to Baghdad to collect the documents. This, in turn, must have hired an agent in the country for the assignment. The 40-year-old believes he had no idea that the papers he ultimately received were fake.
The court does not believe that story. Among other things, because no one has heard of him at the university in his home country, the University of Technology in Baghdad, where he claims to have trained as an engineer. When the 40-year-old has been asked questions about the education, the answers have also been vague and he says he doesn't really remember which courses he took.
Syrian migrants stand out
Every month, UHR uncovers several attempts by migrants to falsely usurp academic qualifications. The dark figure for things that are not detected can also be large.
Cheating is most widespread among migrants from Syria , who for a number of years have been one of the dominant groups of asylum seekers in Sweden and who, with reference to the situation in their home country, have been granted automatic residence permits by the Migration Agency.
The document fraud indicates that not all Syrians are the refugees they claim to be. Other migrants have found a livelihood in the manufacture of this kind of fake documents and sell to greedy speculators.
It has also given a false picture of the education level of the migrants, where, among other things, the state television SVT has claimed that the migrant flows from this part of the world constitute a " rain of skills ".
