Individuals and entities sanctioned include a small boat supplier in Asia and gang leaders based in North Africa.
The UK has sanctioned 25 targets involved in people smuggling, including a small boat supplier in Asia and gang leaders from the Balkans and North Africa, aiming to combat irregular migration across the English Channel. This new sanctions regime allows asset freezing and travel bans without relying on criminal laws, coinciding with strengthened enforcement measures and international migration deals with France and Germany.
