Four Vietnamese Arrested in UK and France for Alleged People Smuggling

The suspects were reportedly using Facebook to advertise illegal Channel crossings, leading to a joint operation by UK and French authorities.

Four Vietnamese nationals were arrested in England and 12 in Paris as part of a crackdown on a people smuggling network.
The group allegedly used Facebook to target the Vietnamese community, offering illegal passage across the Channel for thousands of pounds.
Key suspects include a 64-year-old man believed to be a driver for the smuggling operations and a 25-year-old facing extradition for related offences.
Recent UK-Vietnam cooperation aims to strengthen efforts against illegal migration, with new agreements signed last week.
The National Crime Agency emphasizes the ongoing priority to dismantle organized immigration crime networks.
