The district court of Görlitz has ordered a 23-year-old suspected smuggler in custody.
He is said to have driven a van with 27 illegally entered people in Görlitz on Tuesday, as the federal police announced on Wednesday.
The people in the transporter - including children, women and men - sometimes suffered from shortness of breath and were dehydrated.
Görlitz - The door of the car that the emergency services had stopped was reportedly manipulated in such a way that it could not be opened from the inside.
In total, the officials found 48 migrants from Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Turkey in the area of responsibility of the Federal Police Inspectorate in Ludwigsdorf on Tuesday.
In addition to the 23-year-old, two other suspected smugglers were arrested.
