People smugglers continue to advertise dangerous crossings through the English Channel, despite six people dying after a boat capsized.
Dozens of ads offering small boat trips in Britain have been left on TikTok and Instagram, with thugs grabbing money and trying to lure customers with guarantees of safety, the Daily Mail writes.
One of the smugglers told an undercover Mail reporter on Sunday that "we wouldn't suffer the tragic fate of those who died if we paid £3,000 for a trip from Calais to Dover leaving at dusk."
When we raised the concern about the boat that sank, they told us, "Not everyone drowned. We do trips every day, most of them successful. The sea will be super calm. Come now," the article continues.
Yesterday, Border Force sources revealed that the rafts were becoming increasingly overcrowded. The one that overturned yesterday had about 70 people on board.
And despite the tragedy, just over 500 migrants crossed the Channel yesterday, making it the fourth busiest day of the year.
An Albanian people smuggler who offered passes on TikTok posted footage of migrants dragging a small black boat across the Channel from France hours before the tragic journey was set to begin.
When our undercover reporter messaged them, they said they were sending boats every day.
We expressed security concerns and they responded, “Don't worry. [The people who drowned] were not our customers. We met people last night, no problem. No one drowned, everyone survived."
Asked if they knew why the tragic ship had sunk, they said: “I don't know. Just unlucky.”
The smuggler's TikTok account avoids the social network's filter by replacing words such as UK and France with emoji icons. Another TikTok account, run by Kurdish gangs, yesterday posted a video of a small boat in a coastal warehouse in France. The boat was prepared for a trip across the Channel.
The caption read: “France in the UK. This boat will be available very soon.”
Një person i brendshëm në komunitetin shqiptar të Britanisë së Madhe tha: “Kontrabanduesit e njerëzve kanë reklamuar lirisht biznesin e tyre fitimprurës në mediat sociale për një kohë të gjatë. Por shqetësuese është se ata po vazhdojnë ta bëjnë këtë pasi gjashtë persona janë mbytur.”
Deputeti Peter Bone, ish-kryetar i grupit parlamentar gjithëpartiak për trafikimin e qenieve njerëzore, tha: "Këtyre bandave kriminale nuk u intereson për jetën njerëzore. Njerëzit janë vetëm një mall për ta. Hetimi i Mail on Sunday tregon se këta njerëz janë ndër më të këqijtë në planet. Mjerisht, fakti që ata po vazhdojnë t’i ofrojnë këto udhëtime edhe pas tragjedisë së sotme nuk më habit aspak.
These are not good people helping poor refugees seek a safer life. They are loading individuals onto boats for extremely dangerous journeys across the Channel with promises of comfort and wealth.
Their promises that the trips will be safe are lies. They don't care if someone drowns, they only care about the money."
