Germany to Tighten People-Smuggling Law in UK Deal

UK Reaches Landmark Deal With Germany to Prosecute Gangs Behind Small Boat Crisis

BBC 11 DEC 2024

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and her German counterpart, Nancy Faeser, signed a new deal that will see tough new laws introduced in Germany to help stop Channel crossings

More than 33,000 have crossed the English Channel by small boat this year, which is higher than the 29,000 last year, but below the record numbers in 2022.

The UK and Germany have agreed a landmark deal that will see police crack down on smugglers storing small boats in warehouses. Facilitating people-smuggling is not technically illegal in Germany currently, if it is to a third country outside the EU - which, following Brexit, includes the UK.

Under the new agreement, the Home Office says Germany has pledged to make the activity a clear criminal offence.

New laws to be brought in by the German government will see authorities seize vessels earmarked for dangerous Channel crossings. Gang members smuggling people into the UK will be prosecuted as a result of the agreement signed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Germany's Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser.

Ms Cooper said lives will be saved as a result, with new laws leading to a surge in prosecutions. It follows the arrest last month of a 44-year-old man who was allegedly supplying engines and boats to smugglers.

The Turkish national is accused of shipping supplies from his homeland, storing them in Germany before transporting them to Northern France. These boats were used by smugglers to transport asylum seekers across the Channel

The agreement with Germany will also see intelligence and law enforcement services share expertise and stop people smugglers using social media to attract business.

So far this year, more than 70 people have died attempting to cross the Channel, including children.
