The Joint German-Polish Service Posts in Pomellen (GdpD POM) have been successful in their search on Polish territory.

On Monday, the police were able to arrest four people on Polish territory in connection with a human trafficking investigation. Among them was a 36-year-old Pole who is said to have been the head of the gang.

According to the investigators, the gang is said to have smuggled people from Poland and other Eastern European countries to Germany and other EU countries via Belarus. The victims were then allegedly forced to work in agriculture or the construction industry under threat of violence.

The investigation against the gang had been going on for several months. The GdpD POM, which has been headquartered in Pomellen since 2016, played a central role in the investigation. The joint service consists of German and Polish police officers who work together to combat cross-border crime.

The arrest of the four suspects is a great success for the GdpD POM. It shows that the joint service is working effectively and that cross-border cooperation is essential in the fight against crime.

The investigation is ongoing. The police are still looking for further suspects who are said to have been involved in the gang.
