Sri Lankas Criminal Investigations Division Dismantles a Network of Illegal Migrant Trafficking
To Europe Using Securiports Intelligent Passenger Identification Analytics

Washington, DC, DC, June 16, 2017 --(PR.com)-- According to media reports, The Criminal
Investigations Division (DIC) of Sri Lanka prevented a network of international migrant trafficking to
Europe via the African nations of Gambia and Senegal due to Securiport LLC's innovative identification
technologies.

Allegedly, Sri Lankan businessman, K. Shree Tharan, 41 years old, was the head of the illegal network,
and had enlisted several compatriots wishing to migrate to Europe by charging them an enormous amount
before sending them to Senegal.

Those captured trying to emigrate will be handed over once to authorities in Banjul before being sent
back to Dakar, Senegal.

Allegedly, while this plot had succeeded in Sri Lanka, the operation was exposed by the DIC who
infiltrated the network by aborting the journey of two Sri Lankans, arrested on May 27, at Dakar airport,
with fake Malaysian passports. It was reported by the Interpol system that the passports were declared
stolen or lost.

Allegedly, after the brain behind the operation was apprehended, and with the search of his apartment in
Dakar, several more Sri Lankan passports were uncovered. The defendants were referred yesterday to the
Dakar public prosecutor's office, for association of criminals, usurpation of identity, and smuggling of
migrants.
