Spanish and French police have busted a human trafficking ring smuggling Chinese migrants into Europe and the US.
A total of 75 suspects, including two "main operatives" based in Barcelona, were arrested, the authorities said on Saturday.
Officers in Spain arrested 51 people and the other 24 were picked up in France, according to a police statement.
The string of arrests follows a two-year, joint investigation in the two countries.
Police said the traffickers charged 40-50,000 euros (£34-43,000) per person to provide "false identities and transport Chinese citizens to the United States and countries such as Spain, France, Greece, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Turkey".
