Three Afghan people smugglers who sexually abused migrant boys arrested in UK Three members of a people smuggling gang that sexually abused young boys and moved thousands of migrants illegally through Europe have been arrested in the UK.
Young boys making the journey were seriously sexually abused, with gang members filming the harrowing attacks and using the footage to blackmail their victims.
The trio, who have all been convicted in their absence by a Belgian court, were part of a network that “inflicted extreme cruelty” on the people they smuggled, including children, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said.
So far 23 members of the gang have been convicted and sentenced by a court in Antwerp, 11 of whom were prosecuted in their absence.
