People trafficker boasts he can smuggle migrants to Britain for £20,000 in canoe
A people trafficker boasts he can smuggle migrants from Vietnam to Britain for £20,000 on a canoe.
The criminal told an undercover Sky News reporter, who posed as a Briton looking to bring a nanny from Vietnam to the UK, that the journey can be made in as little as seven days, insisting it is “safer” than using a container.
He said the journey involved getting migrants into Europe by exploiting Hungarian work visas before sending them across the Channel on a canoe.
The criminal told Sky News: “It used to be dangerous, but now it's safe.
“We use canoes to cross the Channel, which isn't far.”
