(Newswire.net — August 28, 2015) — The bodies of 71 refugees have been found dead in a food delivery truck, abandoned on the A4 highway near the Austrian town of Parndorf, according to an interior ministry spokesperson.
According to police, among the 71 victims who died of suffocation, there were 59 men, 8 women and 4 children. The children was age nine or ten and the fourth child found was a girl between one and two years old, Burgenland province police Chief Hans Peter Doskozil said.
Documents found with bodies imply that the victims are immigrants from Syria. The truck has Hungarian license plates as a man from Romania bought and registered the truck in Hungary. Before the trade, the truck belonged to a Slovakian food company that is owned by a Czech minister.
The truck was abandoned for several days before a police checked it. It is believed that the driver has left the country.
“We currently have three people under arrest in Hungary… and we expect that that this is the trail that will lead us to the perpetrators,” a police spokesperson said, adding that a Bulgarian-Hungarian trafficking group probably was responsible for organizing the transfer.
According to Austrian magazine Info Direct, expenses per one person to immigrate illegally to the EU costs approximately 3000 euros. However, a truck driver, according to the magazine seeks between 7,000 and 14,000 euros, depending on the country the immigrants wish to go to.
The main question raised is where the money comes from since immigrants are usually poor people from poor countries.
Info Direct cited an unnamed source from the Austrian military who claims that various NGOs financed by the U.S., actually finance immigration from Africa and the Middle East to the European Union, giving every migrant $11,000 for the trip.
French analyst Thierry Meyssan wrote that this discovery of financing the immigrants confirms his previous article published four months before, claiming this immigrant crisis is a part of a larger picture. Calling it a “Chaos Theory,” Meyssan explains this strategy:
“For now, the migrants problem in the EU (200,000 migrants in 2014) is still a humanitarian crisis, however, with a tendency to become a serious economic problem. Recent decisions made by the EU were not in favor of stopping mass migrations, but to justify new military actions to maintain a chaotic state in Libya. Of course, the chaos is not to be resolved. That is the truth. The American strategy is aimed to involve Europe deep in military adventures in Libya, Syria and Ukraine. Once Europeans are bogged down deep into the swamps of chaos, because they have insufficient military training and the capacity, they would have to beg for help the only superpower. This superpower will unite us more than ever, because they can protect us from the chaos,” Meyssan wrote.
