Italian TV Broadcasts Footage of ‘Save the Children’ Working with People Smugglers

The Muslim migrant influx into Europe is big business, and some of these NGOs are capitalizing to the fullest possible extent. They don’t care about what they’re doing to the people of Europe and to the future of free societies. They only care about the bottom line.

The television programme, which is hosted on Italian network Canale 5, released the footage which shows what they claim are people smugglers helping a large wooden boat of migrants get to the ship chartered by Save the Children, the Vos Hestia, off the coast of Libya.

The migrants on the boat appear to be clearly Sub-Saharan African, contrasted by the alleged people smugglers who appear to be North African or Arabic. The footage shows one of the men of North African appearance physically beating the individuals on the boat before they are taken to the NGO vessel.

The footage is similar to a case brought against the German NGO Jugend Rettet by the Italian government who are investigating the group for alleged connections to people traffickers. The Italians confiscated their vessel, the Iuventa, in August.

The Italian authorities later released pictures which they claimed was evidence of the NGO workers working with the people smugglers.

The Trapani prosecutor’s office has confirmed it is investigating Marco Amato, commander of the Vos Hestia, for people smuggling, according to Italian newspaper Giornale Di Sicilia.

Save the Children is one of the few migrant rescue NGOs to continue operations after the Libyan coastguard began confronting other vessels, and the Italian government introduced a stricter code of conduct on NGO ships in exchange for permission to use Italian ports.

Whilst many have credited the Italians and the Libyans for greatly reducing the flow of migrants from Libya and North Africa, others have claimed that the real reason the flow of individuals has stopped is due to the Italians paying off former people smugglers….
