Law enforcers detained the organizer of the channel for smuggling persons of military age across the state border and three of his accomplices directly during the commission of the offense.
The accomplices wanted to put the "client" on the international passenger train "Chop - Zahony", which, after completing border and customs control, was heading to Hungary

The border crossing was to take place in the dark. One of the accomplices took the man to a place where the train was slowing down, while the other participant in the scheme was in the car and was supposed to open the door and help the "client" jump inside. It was at this moment that the offenders were detained by SBGS and National Police operatives
The law enforcers seized from the smugglers USD 9,500 in cash, the suspects' mobile phones and three cars used to commit the illegal actions.

The accomplices, who resisted arrest, were detained administratively under Art. 185-10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
