The German truck driver has been released from custody. He told the police that he had no idea that asylum seekers were hiding in the back of his truck. He was asleep when they were discovered.

The group of stowaways were discovered on Monday after another truck driver alerted the police that he saw the truck moving in a suspicious way.
