Haiti - French Guiana : Dismantling of a clandestine immigration channel
After a long 10-month investigation into a clandestine immigration between Haiti and French Guiana via the Dominican Republic, Curacoa, Panama and Suriname, some 20 people were arrested.
Following a judicial investigation, 4 persons were indicted including 3 of Haitian nationality and one of French nationality. For acts committed between July 2016 and July 2017, these persons are accused of assisting the illegal entry, movement or residence of an alien on French territory in organized groups and of having hosted and transported Illegal immigrants.
Two of the people were incarcerated and the other two were placed under judicial control.
In addition, about ten foreigners in irregular migratory situations were arrested at the homes of detainees and were subjected to deportation treatment at the border.
