Original: Smugglers Collected Up to $509M on Europe Routes in 2025 https://www. occrp.org/en/news/smugglers-co llected-up-to-509m-

An investigation by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project says smugglers collected as much as $509 million on routes into Europe in 2025. The figure points to the scale of people-smuggling profits along migration routes to the continent, and the story is being shared widely as part of reporting on organized crime and corruption in Europe.

Why now: Fresh investigative reporting by OCCRP has put a striking dollar figure on the smuggling trade, drawing attention to organized crime and migration into Europe.
