The "Independent" newspaper conducted its own investigation and published stunning results: according to the most conservative estimates, the business of bringing refugees to Europe enriched criminal groups in the amount of 3 to 6 billion dollars.
This became possible thanks to the established technology of transporting refugees and the desire of the latter to flee the war, whatever it would cost them. And it usually costs about 5,000 dollars, with fluctuations of several thousand depending on the region and client's solvency.
About 1 million refugees arrived to the EU's borders in the past year, about 900,000 of which used the services of criminals specializing in migration frauds. By the way, no one guarantees a positive result, and it's impossible to return money, of course, even if the refugees could not get into the EU.
Police and Interpol, investigating such cases, reported that over 11,000 people were detained in 2015, involved in criminal networks that provide illegal migration services, but how much they are still at large can not be even approximated.
