(ANSA) - Palermo, April 27 - Catania prosecutor Carmelo
Zuccaro told Italian TV Thursday that "in my opinion some NGOs
may be financed by (migrant) traffickers, and I know of
contacts". He said this traffic "is today reaping profits like
drugs trafficking". Catania prosecutors have accused NGOs of
picking up migrants off Libya after receiving phone calls from
numbers which they say migrants have been given by traffickers.
FRontex, the EU border agency, has also voiced concern about the
action of some NGOs.
