Hungarian human traffickers sentenced and expelled from Czech Republic

Two Hungarian men were sentenced to 18 months in prison and expulsion from the Czech Republic for human trafficking. The sentence was handed out by the Tachov regional court on Wednesday. The two were found on the main motorway leading to Germany with 76 people, mostly from Afghanistan and Pakistan, in a lorry last summer. The state prosecutor said the sentence would be appealed because it was too low. The two Hungarians are likely to be sent to Germany where they also face criminal proceedings.
