MADRID: An illegal immigrant tried to enter Spain by pretending to be a car seat. Police caught the 20-year-old man from Guinea attempting to sneak into the Spanish enclave of Melilla from Morocco over the Beni-Enzar crossing on Friday by inside a Renault 7's passenger seat, with the co-driver sitting on top of him. The insides of the seat had been discarded, leaving only the frame which he slid into. The man was detained and produced before a judge. He has been expelled from the enclave. The two Moroccan men, aged 21 and 23, who allegedly tried to smuggle him across the border were arrested and will appear before a court accused of people smuggling later this week. Guardia Civil officers had described his attempt to pass undetected as 'unique and innovative'.
