Albanian police conducted a search at the Sukobin-Murićani border crossing, leading to the detention of a 26-year-old Frenchman. During the routine inspection, border police officers discovered an unusually large suitcase concealed within the vehicle. Upon opening the luggage, the officers found a woman inside.
According to preliminary reports from investigators, the Frenchman was allegedly attempting to smuggle the woman, who is identified as a Thai citizen. The planned route for the individual was reportedly from Albania, through Montenegro, and onward to Croatia, with France listed as the ultimate destination. Following the discovery, both the Frenchman and the woman were taken into custody.
The police initiated an investigation into the full scope of the incident and the circumstances surrounding the attempted passage. Authorities have not released further details regarding the nature of the smuggling operation. The operation highlights ongoing efforts by border security agencies to monitor and intercept unauthorized movements across international frontiers.
The involvement of the police in this case has resulted in the detention of both individuals. Authorities confirmed that the investigation into the alleged smuggling attempt remains active, and no further updates have been issued regarding the case’s progression.
