A fourth member of a people smuggling gang which brought people to the UK from France and Belgium has been jailed.
Jetmir Myrtaj, 35, was handed a four and a half year sentence for his role in organising the"dangerous" trips across the English Channel, the National Crime Agency said. The 35-year-old, of Kirby Road, Leicester, was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday after three co-defendants - fellow Albanians Banet Tershana and Klodian Shenaj, and British national Desmond Rice - were sentenced on Friday.
A fifth man, Arsen Feci, 44, also of Broxtowe Street, Nottingham, was due to face trial with the gang but did not appear.NCA branch commander Derek Evans said on Friday:"Our investigators worked tirelessly to identify members of this people-smuggling network and take action before they could arrange any more dangerous crossings.
"Tershana was the organiser, financier and collected payment from migrants, Shenaj was the conduit between mainland Europe-based facilitators and the UK, and Myrtaj and Rice were integral to facilitating the crossings.
