Smuggler Arrested in Iraqi Kurdistan After BBC Investigation

A 28-year-old man, previously known as Kardo Jaf, has been arrested in Iraqi Kurdistan following an investigation by the BBC. The arrest stems from the BBC’s exposure of his involvement in smuggling thousands of migrants across the English Channel in small boats. Authorities were able to identify him after journalists tracked him down through contacts in the smuggling world, leading to the discovery of a memorial museum dedicated to victims of the crossings.
