MADRID: A Moroccan woman was caught trying to smuggle a 19-year-old man across the border with Spain curled up inside a suitcase. The Spanish Civil Guard arrested the woman in Ceuta, one of Spain’s two enclave bordering Morocco, on December 30th.
The 22-year-old was caught after border guards observed her “acting suspiciously” as she waited in line to cross the border with a large suitcase. Her apparent nervousness led to officers asking her to open her suitcase.
Inside, they discovered a man curled up in the airless case just moments away from suffocation. He is reportedly 19 and from Gabon although he carried no passport or other identification papers.
