The Federal Investigation Agency , which is investigating the incident, said in a statement on Monday that the passports of the suspected traffickers will also be blacklisted, apart from blocking their national identity cards and bank accounts. The incident, in which some 350 Pakistanis were among over 800 onboard a fishing trawler that sank, shook the South Asian nation and led to a countrywide crackdown against human traffickers who have long been luring youths to illegally transport them to Europe for huge amounts.
