Despite border controls, people try to enter Germany irregularly. They are often dependent on people smugglers. The Federal Police repeatedly pull smugglers out of circulation.

The federal police have pulled a smuggler out of circulation on the city bridge in Görlitz. The 54-year-old man had identified himself as a Polish citizen and attempted to bring two women and two men from Ethiopia to Germany in a cab, according to the Ludwigsdorf police station. He will now have to answer for smuggling in foreigners. The incident occurred on Wednesday.

On the same day, officers from the federal police also arrested a 27-year-old man from Bangladesh at the "An der Neiße" highway rest area who was unable to provide proof of residence. He was sent back to Poland, they said.
