Illegal immigrant blows cover

It was a tough case, but nosy border cops in Bari, Italy, cracked open a human trafficking ring when one of the hiding illegal immigrants sneezed.

Police stopped this Peugeot 207 as it tried to leave the port and were just about to give it the all clear when one of the immigrants sneezed and gave away his hiding spot - inside a suitcase.



Two other youngsters were found stashed in the rear seats, which had been gutted of all their stuffing to make room for them.

Immigration officers are quizzing the Greek owner of the car, Alexandros Lepesiotis, 42.
