Harsher Penalties for Human Smuggling: Mandatory Fine and Vehicle Forfeiture
This bill significantly tightens penalties for individuals organizing illegal border crossings for profit. In addition to imprisonment, offenders will face a mandatory fine of PLN 100,000 and forfeiture of any vehicle used in the crime. The aim is to deter participation in human smuggling by targeting financial motivation.
Key points
Mandatory PLN 100,000 fine: Anyone organizing illegal border crossings for profit will be fined this amount, regardless of other penalties.
Vehicle forfeiture: Any car or mechanical vehicle used for human smuggling will be confiscated. If the vehicle does not belong to the perpetrator, the court may order forfeiture of its equivalent value.
Enhanced deterrence: The new regulations aim to make participation in human smuggling unprofitable and too financially risky, thereby reducing the number of people involved in this practice.
Increased state budget revenue: Fines and the sale of confiscated vehicles will boost the state budget, helping to cover costs associated with combating illegal migration.
