Over 16 arrested in EU action against migrant smuggling
EU
Brussels - ArabToday
Six European Union (EU) countries jointly launched a plan to tackle migrant smuggling, leading to the arrest of over 16 persons, European Police Office (Europol) said in a statement Thursday.
The action took place on Wednesday by police in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary and Romania, with the support of Europol.
Three premises were searched in Hungary, including a hotel used as a major safe house for irregular migrants. In Romania, police arrested 13 suspects. Austrian police arrested one person.
Europol said that after the closure of the Western Balkan route last year, there was an increased risk of stranded migrants being hidden in the region until they are relocated by organized crime groups.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
