German Police Dismantle Lebanese Gang
German police have arrested two key suspects believed to be part of a Lebanese gang to smuggle people into Germany.
They were detained in the Ruhr region which lies within the federal state of North Rhine.
Federal police in Essen said the suspects have "illegally" smuggled 52 Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian nationals into Germany.
Investigation indicated that the gang receives between 5,000 and 6,000 Euros in exchange for each smuggling.
