Traffickers convicted over Channel boat deaths
Six people traffickers were found guilty in France of involuntary homicide after a small boat sank in the Channel on 24 November 2021, killing 31 migrants. The four-week trial in Paris identified members of two cooperating networks, one Iraqi Kurd and one Afghan, and led to prison terms of six to 10 years for six defendants, lesser sentences for seven others, and one acquittal; police used phone tracking to identify network members and six arrest warrants were issued. A separate investigation covers seven French military personnel accused of ignoring distress calls, and France and the UK ended a year-long one-in one-out scheme.
