UK Government "Shocked" by Report of Convicted People Smuggler Living in Britain
The UK government expressed shock over a report that a convicted people smuggler, once dubbed "the godfather" of Calais migrant camps, is living in Leicestershire. The man, who reportedly changed his name and was working illegally while claiming asylum, received a five-year sentence in France for smuggling. This case, alongside another involving a Rochdale grooming gang leader who cannot be deported due to a legal loophole, has raised questions about the UK's immigration and deportation systems.
