Blow to Channel migrant smugglers as 'major supplier' of boats is arrested

The Turkish national shipped the dinghies from Turkey and stored them in Germany, investigators believe.

Detectives are concerned organised crime networks are also increasingly using Holland as a “hub for preparing the smuggling of humans”.

The 44-year-old Turkish national was arrested at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam and will be extradited to Belgium

NCA Director General (Operations) Rob Jones said: “This arrest marks an important milestone in one of the NCA’s most significant investigations into organised immigration crime, and it demonstrates the importance of working closely with our European partners.

“We suspect that this individual is a major supplier of boats and engines to the smugglers operating in Belgium and northern France.

“The types of vessels and engines we see used in making these crossings are highly dangerous and completely unfit for open water. At least 50 people are known to have died this year as a result. There is no legitimate use for them.

“This is why targeting these networks and their business model is a priority for the NCA. Working with our partners we are determined to do all we can to target, disrupt and dismantle the criminal gangs involved, wherever they operate.”

Germany is a key transit country for smugglers bringing dinghies and engines to the French coast, with networks known to use warehouses for their equipment.
