But they don't know what nationalities are in a cabin, so it's just random.Had this as well in 2022. Though checks where a bit random then: heard them knocking other doors in the sleeper car, but they didn't bother checking my cabin which I was sharing with a German and an Austrian passenger. Apparently they considered that low risk?

They're mainly looking for people without the required travel documents.White certainly is the main thing they seem to look at. They might be interested in younger people because of the relatively higher chance of them having soft drugs with them.
They are looking for immigrants who are making their way through europe. Was on a slovenian train between italian border and postuma caves when a number of police came on the train rounded a load of people up and took them off the trainWhite certainly is the main thing they seem to look at.
