There was a similar case years ago and i think he got 13 years for that, but im struggling to find it on google.
Perry Wacker was his name.14 years and there was 58 of them.
The full story is out via the court papers.
The c-unit Mo was paid by Roman Hughes - £1500 per person smuggled. That’s about £60k per operation. He’d been at it since 2018.
I’m surprised there’s not a major man hunt on for the Hughes guys. Maybe someone other than the law will get to them first...

An Irish haulier has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of migrants who were found dead in the trailer of a lorry in Essex.
Ronan Hughes (40) admitted the charge on Friday at the Old Bailey in London.
He was one of several men accused of being part of a people-smuggling ring linked to the deaths of the 39 migrants last October.
The bodies of the Vietnamese nationals were discovered on an industrial estate in Grays, Essex, shortly after the lorry arrived in Purfleet on a ferry in the early hours of October 23rd last year.
among the men, women and children were 10 teenagers, two of them 15-year-old boys.
An inquest heard their medical cause of death was asphyxia and hyperthermia — a lack of oxygen and overheating — in an enclosed space.
In June, the High Court in Dublin ordered the extradition of Mr Hughes, from Leitrim, Silverstream, Tyholland, Co Monaghan, to the UK.
Mr Hughes was arrested on the evening of April 20th at his home in Co Monaghan following the endorsement of a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued by the police in Essex and had fought his proposed extradition to the UK through the Irish High Court.

One life sentence per dead immigrant, to be served consecutively would be about right, plus disposal of all his assets to pay to the victims’ families.
I am afraid I don't agree on the last point. Sadly, there will have been HUNDREDS of people complicit in this case that resulted in the deaths of these people and in many cases, the victims families will be included within that number. d.One life sentence per dead immigrant, to be served consecutively would be about right, plus disposal of all his assets to pay to the victims’ families.
Their deaths are a disgrace and it is correct to prosecute everyone involved, even if they are the victims family members; we should not forget that this was an attempt to illegally enter the UK by a large number of people that travelled a third of the way round the world to do so. That doesn't happen by accident. This is organised, it is lucrative, and there is a demand for it; everyone involved should be held to account.

It’s quite rare to get a life sentence for manslaughter, add in the early guilty plea and he’ll possibly be looking at ten to fifteen years. If he gets a permanent transfer back to the north of Ireland, where he is originally from, he will qualify for fifty percent remission.
Won’t each person be a separate indictment? So he will be punished for each death? IANAL.roadsmash said:
