Massive British people-smuggling racket smashed
A multi-million-pound people-smuggling empire regarded as one of the biggest in Europe was smashed by British police today as officers swooped on its most senior figures in a series of dawn raids across London.
Five men, including former asylum seekers alleged to have been among the vast criminal network’s highest ranking operators, were arrested in raids at 12 houses in London and one in Boston, Lincolnshire.
