Shadow payment system on rise among European people smugglers. laylimay reports
That was a signal for the family to authorise the release of a $3,500 payment to a smuggler contact, who Hussein knew only by the nickname ‘Nato,’ that was being held in a money transfer shop in his hometown of Ranya.
Hussein's account was confirmed by a friend who accompanied him across Europe as well as messages he sent to family seen by Reuters. Police in Gorlitz and the German interior ministry declined to comment. “Financial investigations are a core pillar of police investigations and hawala takes away that pillar,” she said.
Britain's Home Office, which oversees policing and immigration, declined to comment on smuggler tactics or operational matters. The British government has said it has dismantled 17 organised criminal groups, made hundreds of arrests and secured 65 convictions. Some 2,500 have died or gone missing attempting to cross into Europe at its southern borders between January and October of this year, U.N. figures show.
