  "account": "Drug trafficking gangs are demanding 9,000 euros from migrants attempting to cross the Strait of Gibraltar illegally to reach the Spanish coast, according to the latest figures from the Spanish Interior Ministry. These criminal groups, which reportedly include five individuals detained by the National Police in recent days, exploited the massive influx of migrants into Ceuta on July 30 and 31 to boost their already profitable business. The migrants, who often travel in small boats at night without lifesaving vests or safety measures, endure a perilous and expensive journey. As of the end of July, over 80,000 migrants had arrived in Ceuta, with more than 2,000 of them being minors.",
