No, it's nuanced. People smuggling worked like this... They would call her (and/or other NGO) and say "we just dropped x people in the sea at these coordinated, bye!". She would go and pick them up (she would not make any money out of this).

What the xenophobic party that was (and kinda is) in power wanted is to her ignore the heads up and let people die in the sea. Because all that party promised to his (debatable) electors is more death in the sea (to scare the other migrants).

Also all this is polical because the vast majority of illegal immigration is through Balkans anyway
