Scombag Indonesian poLICE destroy a valuable transport business

INDONESIAN police say they have smashed a people-smuggling ring and arrested the kingpin of the syndicate responsible for sending rickety vessels laden with asylum-seekers on the perilous journey to Australia.

Brigadier General Badrodin Haiti, director for national security at Indonesian police headquarters, told the Herald yesterday that the arrest of an Iranian, Haj Sakih, his accomplices and some Indonesians had smashed a big people-smuggling racket.

The syndicate had smuggled scores of asylum-seekers, most of them Middle Eastern, to Australia over the past three years.

"He is a big fish," Brigadier General Haiti said of Sakih. "His connection is with Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. He smuggled people to Australia several times, both successfully and unsuccessfully."

The Herald understands Sakih, who goes by several aliases and was arrested in Surabaya on Wednesday night with at least one other man, is responsible for most of the attempted boat crossings to Australia in recent times and had been chased across the archipelago for several months.
