In the early hours of Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at around 2:00 AM, Senegalese police thwarted an attempt at illegal emigration. Alerted by suspicious activity, officers from the Medina district police station arrested 13 would-be migrants on Soumbédioune beach.

A failed departure for Spain

According to police sources, the group had gathered near the Soumbédioune cemetery, carrying their luggage. They were waiting for a pirogue that was to take them clandestinely to Spain.

The initial findings of the investigation reveal the details of their plan:

The cost of the trip: Each candidate had paid the sum of 500,000 CFA francs .
The smuggler's broken promise: The smuggler had initially arranged to meet them at 8 p.m. on the beach at the Millennium Gate. After several hours of fruitless waiting, the migrants ended up in Soumbédioune instead.

The targeted conveyor network

The questioning of the suspects has advanced the investigation. Two individuals, identified as members of the organizing network, have been arrested. They revealed that the boat's captain resides in the Medina district.

The 13 migrants were transferred to the National Division for Combating Migrant Smuggling and Related Practices (DNLT) , which took over the investigation in order to dismantle the rest of the network.
