Terrorism, Europol: “There will be another attack in Europe” – The Messenger

“The level of terrorist threat in Europe is still very high. I fear it is possible a new attack in Europe. We face the largest and dangerous terrorist threat since September 11 “. This was stated by Director of Europol, Rob Wainwright, the Schengen Committee. “When we published our report in January – added the director – we knew that Isis had established a new external command structure in Syria where he was preparing the complex terrorist attacks to put in place.”

“I do not we, at the time, news of a specific terrorist threat against Italy. ” This was stated by Director of Europol, Rob Wainwright, the Schengen Committee explaining that “we confirmed that two of the bombers of Paris had used the migration channel.” “Our main concern – he added – is that other terrorists could get to Europe through the use of forged documents. Europol is currently monitoring the activities of those who might be the manufacturers of these false documents and strengthen enforcement in this activity. “

Trafficking in human beings
“We have identified 40 thousand people traffickers in Europe,” said Wainwright Schengen Committee to adding: “It is a community made up of many small criminal gangs from various countries. Some of these groups are very powerful and are able to operate simultaneously from various European countries. The leaders of these organizations come from either the departure countries like Syria, transit countries like Turkey and also from various European countries. ” Europol’s response to these organizations’ effectiveness is reduced due to lack of cooperation of the national police forces of the countries of departure “of migrants” as in the case of Syria. Very important is – he said – the cooperation that we have with Turkey as one of the priorities of the agreement with between Turkey and Europe. “

” The 90% of migrants said they had used illegal services that facilitated their journey towards the European Union. ” This was explained by the Director of Europol, Rob Wainwright, the Schengen Committee, who added: “We have calculated that criminal networks have had a turnover of between three and only six billion euro last year. Which has made them the fastest growing criminal industry in Europe. “
