This was told to the Austrian APA agency at the Ministry of the Interior in Vienna.

Hungarian police announced that it will charge seven Bulgarians and an Afghani male after it concluded the investigation of the death of 71 migrants discovered in a truck in Austria last year.

The investigators reckon the Afghani man was at the head of the gang. He and the seven Bulgarians were arrested because of the tragedy which became notorious all over Europe.

Thousands of exhausted migrants streamed into Austria from Hungary on Sept. 5, after Vienna and Berlin agreed to take in thousands of refugees desperate to start new lives in Western Europe.
