At the same time, searches and deprivations of liberty are being carried out in Croatia.

According to the evidence gathered, the perpetrators took large sums of money for smuggling, as illegal material gain, and organized the smuggling down to details related to the accommodation, illegal transport and smuggling of migrants across state borders, in which members of the smuggling chain would take over migrants from a certain area and transport them further to their final destination.
