Major Supplier of People-Smuggling Boats Arrested in Amsterdam
ai generated text
The articles report on the arrest of a 44-year-old Turkish national at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The individual, who will be extradited to Belgium, is suspected of supplying engines and boats to people smugglers operating in northern France. Specifically, the articles state that the suspect is accused of shipping dinghies and engines from Turkey to Germany, where they were stored for eventual use in smuggling operations across the English Channel.
The excellent work of the UK's National Crime Agency has been critical to this. We will stop at nothing to root out criminal networks wherever we find them.
This major investigation shows how important it is for our crime-fighting agencies to be working hand in glove with our international partners to get results.
If the boats and the engines aren't available it obviously makes it much more difficult for these crossings to be made.
Criminal gangs have been getting away with this for far too long.
It's exactly what we want to see and it shows that our approach of working with international partners to smash the people-smuggling gangs is bearing fruit.
