Nineteen Turkish nationals were found hiding in a refrigerator truck, trying to cross into Hungary from Romania at Nagylak at daybreak on Tuesday, local police told MTI.

 

The Turkish men are believed to have boarded the truck, which had Turkish plates, in Romania, where they hid behind the crates of fruit being carried by the vehicle, spokesman Janos Pal said.

 

Romanian authorities will be in charge of launching procedures against the men and the truck driver, he added, since the vehicle was prevented from entering Hungary.
