The neighboring countries of Estonia have recently been subjected to hybrid attacks, which consist of hostile neighboring countries encouraging a large number of migrants from third countries to cross the border. In this regard, the number of illegal border crossers arriving in Estonia has visibly increased. Illegal border crossers are often assisted by criminals, to whom migrants pay for smuggling them into the European Union and organizing illegal border crossings, noted Pakosta in the proposal. Pakosta pointed out that both organizing illegal border crossings and supporting illegal residence in Estonia are dangerous crimes for which relatively lenient penalties are currently provided, and the existing law does not even allow for consideration of whether it involves repeat offenses or the simultaneous transportation of multiple migrants that provide greater financial gain. #migrantid #karistusseadustik #ebaseaduslikpiiriületus (translated)
