The man named Kemal Turan tried to smuggle the migrants in April last year. The customs officer was offered a bribe worth EUR 2,500 during the inspection of a refrigerator truck. Forty one migrants, including four children were found in the truck. Turan refused to plead guilty and appealed the sentence twice so far.
