Despite strong and prolonged banging on the cabin from the dying immigrants, the truck driver refused to stop the truck earlier, the chief investigator says.
abc.net.au/news/six-charged-after-18-migrants-found-dead-in-truck-in-bulgaria/101995236Bulgarian prosecutors have charged six people with human trafficking after 18 Afghan migrants were found dead inside a truck dumped on a dirt road near the capital Sofia.
Despite strong and prolonged banging on the cabin, the driver refused to stop the truck earlier, the head of the National Investigative Service and deputy chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov told reporters. Thousands of people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia make the journey and Bulgaria has been trying to cope with an increased inflow of migrants from neighbouring Türkiye in the past year.
The other 34 migrants, who were rushed to hospitals on Friday, local time, remain in stable condition, officials said.
