YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

James O'Brien examines how Brexit has contributed to a 'people smuggling' loophole in Germany, following revelations that the practice has been legal in the country since the UK left the EU.

In response, Germany has pledged to tighten its laws to ensure the prosecution of people smugglers facilitating small-boat crossings to Britain. The two nations have signed a new agreement aimed at addressing immigration crime.

According to the Home Office, Berlin plans to overhaul its legal framework to make it a clear criminal offence to “facilitate the smuggling of migrants to the UK” as part of this agreement. The move is expected to provide German prosecutors with additional tools to combat the supply and storage of dangerous small boats.

James questions how many people were aware of this loophole and why it hasn’t received more attention.
