A man captured in Sudan and removed to Italy blamed for being a top human runner says the powers have the wrong man. 

Not long ago, prosecutors reported the catch of trafficking kingpin Mered Medhanie. 

Be that as it may, the man right now being held in prison says he is rather Medhanie Tesfarmariam Berhe, his legal counselor says. 

He has been addressed by a judge and his legitimate circumstance is required to be characterized in the coming days. 

The reported catch of Mered Medhanie, named The General, was hailed as a leap forward in the battle against human runners who send a large number of vagrants on perilous water crafts to Europe. 

Specialists say Mered Medhanie was in charge of the passings of 359 vagrants who suffocated when their vessel sank off the Italian coast in October 2013. 

The captured man was seized by Sudanese police a month ago with the assistance of British and Italian powers.

In any case, questions started to rise not long after the current week's removal, with loved ones saying that the man seen cuffed being escorted off a plane was not the suspected trafficker. 

Two ladies said to be sisters of Medhanie Tesfarmariam Berhe said he was the one captured. He was said to be a 27-year-old Eritrean refuge seeker.
