LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will create a new sanctions regime to target the ringleaders of illegal migration networks who facilitate and profit from smuggling tens of thousands of people into the country each year, the government said on Wednesday.
The British government, under huge political pressure to cut the number of people arriving in small boats from France, said the laws would work alongside other reforms to help them target the gangs behind the trafficking.
