Two of the people on board the dinghy when it was rescued are thought to be smugglers, while the rest are migrants, military police spokesperson Doron Wallin told The Associated Press news agency on Saturday.
The boat was discovered drifting with no motor off the coast of the Netherlands’ Zeeland province, far southwest of Amsterdam. No one was wearing a life vest.
Todos os 38 a bordo eram homens, 36 deles eram da Afeganistão, e dois – os suspeitos de contrabandistas – eram do Sudão, segundo a agência de notícias AFP. Os dois homens sudaneses foram presos sob suspeita de tráfico de pessoas.
It is not known where the boat was headed, but refugee and migrant crossings in small boats from France to the United Kingdom have become commonplace in recent years.
It is unusual for boats to be discovered in Dutch waters, however.
Dutch authorities will open an investigation into the case on Sunday.
