A Hungarian court has sentenced four human traffickers to 25 years in prison each for their roles in the 2015 case in which 71 migrants suffocated to death in the back of a refrigerated truck found on an Austrian highway.
The principal defendant, an Afghan man, and three Bulgarian accomplices were found guilty Thursday in the southern city of Kecskemet of being part of a criminal organization and committing multiple crimes. Ten other defendants, three of them still fugitives, were given shorter prison terms.
