Libyan authorities have arrested notorious people smuggler Abd Al-Rahman Al-Milad, also known as Bija, the BBC reported.
Libya’s internationally-recognised government announced the arrest of Al-Milad on Wednesday, two years after the UN Security Council imposed sanctions against him and five others over people smuggling in Libya.
The North African country has been a major migrant route to Europe since the overthrow of long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi.
