«Breaking News» UK ‘lacks will‘ to tackle British-based people-smuggling ‘mafia’, French mayor claims

Ruthless people-smugglers risking the lives of migrants in the English Channel are controlled by British-based 'mafia bosses', yet UK authorities 'lack the political will to tackle them', a French mayor claimed yesterday.

Franck Dhersin, mayor of Teteghem, a village near Dunkirk, said traffickers cramming boats with migrants are mostly Iraqi Kurdish gangs investing their profits in the UK. He said French coastguard services are receiving almost nightly calls to rescue migrants from inadequate, overcrowded boats.

'It is only a matter of time before someone dies trying to cross the Channel in boats,' he said.

'Our intelligence shows that there are several gangs operating in this area, in Calais, Dunkirk and Boulogne,' he added. 'These gangs are mostly Iraqi Kurdish but the leaders of these gangs are based in the UK. They have dual nationality, British and Iraqi.

'We have got this information from the foot soldiers we arrested in Calais. The gang bosses are reinvesting the money into the property market, in restaurants and nightclubs. They send some money back to Iraq, but most of it is reinvested in Britain.'

In February, Britain's National Crime Agency arrested 21 people nationwide in a series of raids targeting a Iraqi Kurdish smuggling ring.

But Mr Dhersin added: 'There is no willpower in the British Government to tackle this problem... The UK government is too focused on Brexit to think of anything else.'

He said that the peoplesmuggling gangs are targeting small harbours between Boulogne and Dunkirk and he does not expect rough winter weather to deter the migrant boats. 'These people have crossed thousands of miles, they can see the white cliffs of Dover on a clear day,' he said.

A Home Office spokesman said it had 'stepped up deployments of our coastal patrol vessels along the South-East coast', adding: 'The Home Secretary has been clear the evidence shows there is organised criminal gang activity behind illegal migration attempts by small boats across the Channel.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
