Ukrainian detained in Poland for allegedly smuggling migrants across Belarus border
A Ukrainian woman was detained in the northeastern village of Losinka near the Belarusian border on May 19 after she was found transporting five Afghan migrants who had illegally crossed into Poland, the Polish police said. Poland has frequently accused Belarus and Russia of orchestrating an influx of migrants into the European Union through the Polish border. Warsaw claims thousands are trying to enter Poland from Belarus annually. According to an official statement, Polish officers stopped a Mazda car for inspection and discovered the 36-year-old Ukrainian woman behind the wheel, along with five Afghan nationals in the vehicle. The migrants were later confirmed to have entered the country unlawfully. The woman initially claimed she had been visiting a friend in the Hajnowka district and had spontaneously picked up the men while they were hitchhiking. However, she later admitted to the police that she had received instructions via a messaging app to pick up the migrants. Both the driver and her passengers were handed over to the Polish Border Guard. Under Polish law, assisting in the illegal crossing of the border is a criminal offense punishable by up to eight years in prison, police said.

BREAKING NEWS British multi-millionaire is arrested over 'rape of two women' in luxury hotel in Majorca
A British multi-millionaire has been arrested in Majorca after allegedly raping two women at a luxury hotel. The 55-year-old, who has not yet been named, is alleged to have targeted the women on two separate occasions at a five-star hotel in Portals Nous, on the south-west of the island. The British man was arrested on Wednesday after the second woman, a Ukrainian, told cops he forced himself on her. She is reported to have flown to the island's capital, Palma, for an arranged meeting with the suspect, but was taken to hospital by police after she alleged over the weekend that she had been raped. Ultima Hora, a Spanish newspaper, reported that another woman, from South America, filed a complaint months ago alleging a similar attack. Both women are reported to have met the millionaire on a 'hypergamy' website, where people can meet individuals of high net worths. Spanish cops are said to have prepared a report for a court hearing in Palma, which is conducting a criminal investigation - though no charges have been filed. The suspect was allowed to leave police custody without appearing before a judge. More to follow.
