Migrants come from the most distant corners of the world, as the EU leadership sends messages that they support migration in an organized and controlled manner. And this also encourages people in the world's poorest countries to believe that this is the land of promise, József Horváth, national security advisor of the Center for Fundamental Rights, told Magyar Hírlap.
"We must acknowledge that a new organized crime industry has emerged in the Western Balkans since 2015," said Horváth. "What's more, these routes lead from the countries of origin, along which organized criminal groups hand over illegal migrants. It can be seen that they use social interfaces or game forums that make their true intentions as reprehensible as possible. This all serves to carry out these works as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
Social networking sites are often used, so they fully incorporate 21st century technology into their operations. This is not unusual, as ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorist groups also prefer to communicate in a covert manner, making use of social media. Organized crime has only adopted the technology of Islamic terrorism.
Action against organized crime is always the most difficult job for law enforcement organizations. For this, the international contact system must be used, since the human trafficking networks are also organized on an international level. Therefore, law enforcement and secret service networks are also needed to be able to exchange information as quickly and in-depth as possible. Furthermore, these criminal groups can only be detected and mapped with very slow work, to what depth they have integrated into the state administration, and what aspirations they have to integrate into the law enforcement area.
Unfortunately, migrants also come to Europe from the farthest corners of the world, as the EU leadership sends messages that they support migration in an organized and controlled manner. And this encourages people in the world's poorest countries to believe that this is the promised land." József Horváth stated.
