The teenager was first detained in the Region of Murcia last year
A minor is being investigated in relation to facilitating illegal immigration for the first time in the Region of Murcia after he was believed to be at the helm of a patera (small dingy frequently used to bring migrants from overseas).The teenager, who was underage at the time, was first investigated in 2020 for a crime against the rights of foreign citizens and was temporarily detained in a centre in the Region of Murcia on a precautionary basis, but was shortly released.Back in 2020, a migrant boat was intercepted by the authorities and after interrogating the passengers, who all named the youngster as the captain of the boat, the National Police became suspicious of the teenager.However, he refused to admit to anything and as all of the witnesses soon disappeared into thin air, the authorities were forced to release the minor six months after he was detained. The legal case against this teenager was provisionally shelved as the police attempted to locate both the culprit himself and any of the witnesses who were onboard the patera.In a similar case in the municipality of Cartagena, a 19-year-old who transported 16 immigrants to the Spanish coast was sentenced to two years in prison after he captained a boat in January 2021.Image: Policía Nacional
