The Spanish government announced on 3 August 2015 a Moroccan man had suffocated to death in a suitcase after his brother tried to smuggle him into Spain in the boot of his car.

The 27-year-old man was on board a ferry from Spain's north African enclave of Melilla to the mainland Spanish city of Almeria. The surviving brother, who has a French passport, has since been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
