Visas for France sold for 7,000 euros

Suspected of being an active member of the “Khadija” smugglers network named after a Moroccan woman who is its boss, a Moroccan residing in France was arrested and indicted last March for “forgery and use of forgery, association of criminals and offer of services or advantages to a member of the public service”, placed in detention, then kept in detention. He would be a suspected tout.

It all started when investigators from the sub-directorate for the fight against irregular immigration received anonymous information. The latter “designates a graying man, bearded and wearing glasses”, as the tout of the “Khadija” smuggling network. This allowed hundreds of migrants to reach Île-de-France by paying between 6,000 and 7,000 euros to arrive in France with a tourist visa, reports The Parisian.
