UK to Introduce World-First Sanctions Regime Targeting People Smugglers with Financial Sanctions Under Keir Starmer's Plan
Jan 9, 2025, 12:59 AM
The UK government is set to introduce a new sanctions regime aimed at disrupting people-smuggling operations. This initiative, spearheaded by Labour leader Keir Starmer, is part of a broader strategy to 'smash the gangs' that facilitate irregular entry of asylum seekers into the country. The proposed policy will impose financial sanctions on organized crime figures and terrorists identified as 'boat kingpins,' with the goal of crippling these smuggling networks. This plan represents a world-first approach to tackling the issue of people trafficking in the UK.
