Smuggling savages into Europe has now become so lucrative and risk free, that the generals in charge are now just abandoning their battle cruisers in the shipping lanes and leaving the Italian navy to tow their rusting hulks to the shore.
A Syrian refugee who piloted more than 700 illegal migrants on the Italian ‘Ghost Ship’ has claimed a trafficking gang offered him nearly £10,000 to be ‘captain’ of the abandoned vessel.
Sarkas Rani, 36, took charge of the Blue Sky M, one of two large ships that were locked on a course towards Italian shores this week, with hundreds of Syrian asylum seekers on board.
Mr Rani claims he was contacted by human traffickers who allegedly posted several messages on Facebook offering migrants covert passage to Europe for £3,500.
The former sailor allegedly told police that he was offered free passage, $15,000 and the possibility of his family being sent to Italy too, if he captained the ship.
Separately, police have revealed that human traffickers could have earned around £2million for taking more than 350 illegal migrants on a second ship that was intercepted by the Italian navy just 48 hours later.
According to the Telegraph, an Italian newspaper reported comments made by Mr Rani during police interrogation after the ship was intercepted on New Year’s Eve.
Mr Rani allegedly told police that the trafficking gang had asked him to commandeer the ship after finding out that he used to work as a sailor.
He told officers that it would save the gang having to make an exit from the boat when it neared European waters.
‘They promised me $15,000 and the possibility of sending my entire family over,’ Mr Rani was reported as saying.
The Blue Sky M, which was intercepted on Wednesday, had recently had its safety certificates withdrawn after it was ruled unseaworthy.
It was originally heading for the port of Rijeka in Croatia, but the ship abruptly changed direction on Tuesday morning, heading west towards Italy.
This is thought to have been when the smugglers abandoned their human cargo to its fate.
According to reports, Mr Rani admitted leaving the bridge to hide among the migrant passengers once he set the autopilot toward Italy’s southern shore.
By the time Italian naval officers boarded the ship, it was close to running aground in what could have led to a fatal sinking.
After it docked in the Italian port of Gallipoli, hundreds of desperately cold men, women and children carrying their few remaining possessions were helped to safety.
Wrapped in blankets, they stumbled off the ship to waiting aid workers and ambulances. One woman holding a young child collapsed and several had to be carried on stretchers.
Many of the migrants had been forced to huddle for hours on the main deck, and more than 100 were treated for hypothermia.
Mr Rani said his participation in the people-smuggling venture began when he left Lebanon, where he had sought refuge from the civil war ravaging Syria, to spend time in Turkey.
Yeah, it really didn’t make sense to do more work than was required, did it?
My granddaddy always told me: work smarter, not harder.
