Italy Shuts Down 728 Online Accounts Facilitating Illegal Migration from Libya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Italian Ministry of Interior announced that its anti-human trafficking police shut down 728 online accounts last Sunday. These accounts were being used to facilitate illegal migration from the Libyan coast to Italy.

In a statement, the ministry highlighted that criminal groups were operating these accounts to organise and promote illegal journeys from Libya to Italian shores. They provided potential migrants with detailed information on the costs of transportation and payment methods. The shutdown of these accounts is part of Italy’s broader efforts to combat human trafficking and illegal immigration.

The ministry’s statement also emphasised that these criminal networks exploit vulnerable people, often risking their lives by sending them on dangerous sea voyages across the Mediterranean. Italian authorities have been working closely with international partners to crack down on these operations and prevent further illegal entries.

This move comes as part of a larger strategy by the Italian government to curb the rising number of illegal migrants entering the country via Libya, which remains a significant departure point for those attempting to reach Europe. Libya’s ongoing political instability has made it a hotspot for human trafficking networks.

Italian authorities are continuing to monitor online platforms used by smugglers and are taking steps to block and remove any accounts promoting illegal immigration. The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to combating these criminal activities and ensuring that Italy’s borders are secure.

This crackdown is one of many efforts in recent years aimed at reducing the flow of illegal migrants and bringing human traffickers to justice.
