8-year-old boy has been found inside a closed suitcase of a 19-year-old woman Thursday at Spain border.
The attempt of smuggling the child into Europe was stopped by the police following the woman who looked nervous as she waited in line at the land border crossing in Ceuta, a Spanish city enclave in North Africa.
Through the scanner, the guards detected the boy curled up inside describing the boy “in a terrible state.”
The border officers detained the woman and later the child’s father for the attempt of child trafficking.
The Spanish court held charges against the father in particular of human rights abuse.
Earlier this week, a Moroccan man was found in a shipping container in the port of Melilla.
According to AFP, thousands of migrants make desperate attempts to enter Ceuta every year.
