Italian police on Wednesday
busted a gang that smuggled migrants from Libya to Italy.
The brains behind the operation, police said, was a
Bangladeshi businessman who charged migrants 6,000 euros a head
to get from Libya to Italy, and arranged for them to get
humanitarian permits to reach Liguria.
They were then obliged to work in the businessman's firms and
pay to sleep in property he had leased, police said.
