Report: Some 100 gangs run Channel migrant route
By EUobserver
Immigration police in France are monitoring networks of safe houses and believe an estimated 100 sophisticated people-smuggling gangs are targeting the UK, The Times writes. The dismantling of the UK network, thought to have made €1m a month facilitating a "VIP" service, shed light on the inner workings of one of these organisations. There could be about 100 similar gangs offering Channel crossings, the report said.
