Human Trafficking: UAE cracks human trafficking ring

Police in Abu Dhabi have uncovered an international organised crime ring that smuggled people from Asia to Europe through airports in the United Arab Emirates federation, the official WAM news agency said.

It said the gang exploited gaps in security and passenger transfer procedures used by some international airlines to smuggle nationals from Asian countries to Europe.

Major Abdul Rehman al-Sakkaf of Abu Dhabi Criminal Investigation Department said the ringleaders were not in the UAE but were running the operation from two other states in the Gulf Arab region.
