Italy busts gang smuggling in Chinese via luxury cars

Italian police said Wednesday they have busted a Chinese trafficking network which used luxury cars to smuggle Chinese migrants into Italy, before confiscating their passports and treating them like slaves. The smugglers had the migrants pose as "unsuspecting Asian citizens, well-dressed, with little luggage, travelling in powerful and expensive cars, driven by Chinese citizens who had lived in Italy for years and spoke Italian", police said in a statement.
