(ANSA) - LONDON - Human traffickers earned between 3 and 6 billion dollars last year (2.7-5.5 billion euros) from smuggling more than one million refugees into Europe, according to Europol director Rob Wainwright, who spoke to British newspaper Independent on Sunday (UK). It is estimated that every migrant has paid an amount between 3,000 and 6,000 dollars to flee war and poverty. The trafficking of human beings has thus become the ''Champions League'' of European organised crime. (ANSA) .
