P.Z.S. was arrested by Turkish police in the Esenyurt district of Istanbul, 24rodopi.com reports, citing media in our southern neighbor.
The 61-year-old driver tried to escape during the action of the teams. The migrants were in the trailer. 70 people are from Syria, 10 from Iraq and one from Palestine.
A fine of £ 208,494 was imposed on the driver.
