Nine Iraqis were discovered at the Calafat border crossing as they attempted to enter Romania illegally, hiding in a minibus loaded with diving equipment, led by a Turkish citizen who regularly ensures transport of goods from Turkey to France.

According to Border Police investigation, Iraqis (aged 17-28) intended to reach a state in Western Europe. Drivers (main and second driver of the minibus) claimed they were unaware of people hidden in the car.

Following Romanian-Bulgarian Protocol, Turkish drivers and the nine Iraqis were taken over by the Bulgarian Border Police for further investigation and disposal of legal measures.
