Years pass, but the tactics are repeated. Through the same winding roads where Catalan smugglers once smuggled tobacco, food, and even people, a criminal group of French smugglers smuggled vulnerable migrants recently arrived in Catalonia. They sought secondary, narrow, and untraveled roads, and the price per crossing ranged from 150 to 300 euros. A price that French authorities have admitted was low, and which they attribute to fierce competition between clans. The starting point was Catalonia. The destination, Northern Catalonia. Specifically, Perpignan, where they were offered alternative routes to reach, for example, Germany.
