Reuters reports that people smugglers are profiting greatly from illegally transporting individuals across the Channel. In a massive people smuggling trial in Europe, a French judge warned a notorious figure accused of smuggling activities, emphasizing that there would be no more misconduct tolerated. The trial involves 33 alleged members of a Kurdish smuggling gang responsible for a significant portion of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats. The gang reportedly made substantial profits by overloading boats with migrants, leading to a lucrative income. Despite the crackdown on illegal Channel crossings, the smuggling industry continues to thrive. Prosecutors aim to impose longer sentences to deter smugglers and raise the cost of their operations. Collaboration between French and British officials has been praised, but defense lawyers remain skeptical about the impact of harsher sentences on the ongoing small boat crisis. “Reuters Si es iraní, estará en Irán. Pero el enlace a menudo está en Inglaterra, estoy seguro de ello. Las autoridades británicas deberían mirar más de cerca ciertas áreas de Londres si quieren parar este fenómeno”, dijo el Sr. Abbas.
