Italy Busts Immigration Ring as EU Crossings Drop

Italian authorities dismantled a multi-million-euro network that facilitated the illegal entry of Bangladeshi migrants using forged employment and housing documents, with alleged involvement from the Camorra’s Fabbrocino clan; 45 suspects are under investigation and €2M in assets were seized. The report also highlights Frontex data showing a 20% drop in unauthorized EU border crossings in early 2025, shifting routes (including an uptick in English Channel crossings), and ongoing fatalities at sea.
