The UK’s broken immigration system has been exposed once again, as a convicted people smuggler known as 'The Godfather' of French migrant camps was found living comfortably in a Leicestershire village.
Twana Jamal, who was sentenced to five years in prison in France in 2016 for trafficking illegal immigrants across the Channel, is now residing in the UK and reportedly seeking asylum.
Despite his criminal history, Jamal has been caught working illegally, driving without a license, and operating under a false name, all while mocking the authorities who are supposed to be protecting the border.
Jamal’s presence in the country is not an isolated incident; investigations have identified over 20 other active smugglers who have reached the UK, many of whom are exploiting the asylum system to avoid accountability for their overseas convictions.
Experts point to the lack of robust data-sharing agreements with European nations—a consequence of post-Brexit administrative gaps—as a primary reason these criminals are slipping through the cracks.
While the Home Office insists that mandatory security checks are in place, the reality on the ground is that dangerous individuals are entering the country, lying about their identities, and openly boasting that the police won't touch them.
Jamal, who once earned up to £100,000 a week trafficking humans, brazenly told investigators, 'No-one touches us here.' This case serves as a damning indictment of a system that prioritizes asylum claims over national security and the rule of law.
