Illegal migrants were found during the registration of a vessel that arrived from Turkey to the port of Chornomorsk.

The detention of the violators was carried out by detectives of the Odesa border detachment together with the SSU (Security Service of Ukraine) and customs officers, the press-service of the State Border Guard Service informs.

Two undocumented migrants were found among a load of cloth in a semitrailer. The foreigners identified themselves as citizens of Syria and said that they were planning to illegally get to their relatives in Italy.
