(ANSA) Italian police on Wednesday busted an alleged gang made up of Afghans, Pakistanis and Italians that allegedly produced fake stay permits in Naples for migrants to remain legally in Italy and the Schengen border-free area.
Police said they provided the counterfeit permits to Pakistanis, Indians, Tunisians, Moroccans, Afghans, Ukrainians and Russians as well as non-EU citizens from terror-risk crisis areas.
One person was taken into custody in jail, two more placed under house arrest and 11 more served forced-residence orders for a total of 14 alleged gang members.
They have been charged with conspiracy to favour clandestine immigration, fraud and counterfeiting legal documents.
