An investigator has accused Valeria R. from Romania, who according to the police, tried to transport four illegal migrants thorough the border crossing at Čunovo (a Bratislava borough) from Hungary to Slovakia, Police Corps HQ spokesperson Denisa Baloghová said on Wednesday. According to police findings, the man received €400 for transporting four males aged between 26 and 43 from Syria. "If found guilty, the man will face three to eight years imprisonment. As the migrants haven't applied for asylum, they will be returned to Hungary in the next few days," said Baloghová. She added that this case reaffirms that Slovakia continues to be a transit country for illegal migrants, whose target destinations are other countries in Western Europe.
