Spanish and French police have arrested 75 members of a gang suspected of smuggling Chinese citizens into Europe and the United States.
Of the total, 51 were arrested in Spain, including two believed to be the heads of the Barcelona-based people smuggling organisation in Europe.
The other 24 were arrested in France.
The gang is accused of offering false passports for between €40,000 and €50,000.
The Spanish interior minister said that some of the immigrants ended up in the sex trade.
