An alleged people trafficker has been arrested by British police in connection with the deaths of 27 illegal immigrants who died when their small boat sank in the English Channel in November 2021.

Harem Ahmed Abwbaker, 32, was arrested in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on Tuesday morning by National Crime Agency (NCA) officers acting on behalf of French police, who intend to charge him with involuntary homicide and facilitating illegal immigration.
