Ten people have been arrested at Zurich airport with fake passports.
Nine of them were travelling from Kenya and Somalia and were planning to go to Dublin. The tenth person is a 39-year-old dual Swedish/Somali national who’s facing human trafficking charges.
The group was aged between 2 and 50 and didn’t have the right travel papers.
Police say initial investigations suggest the group leader may be responsible for other human trafficking activities.
