'Just another job': In an interview with Sky News, a people smuggler claims that the majority of his fellow criminals choose to settle in Britain and invest their money here - and discusses the 'mafia' networks that cause tragedies at sea
The first thing is the money. If someone has money, it's easier.If there are too many migrants, the prices go up. So it goes from €500 to €2,500.Different nationalities also affect the prices. For example, Albanians pay more, Pakistanis pay more.How difficult do the French police make it?
Smugglers play hide and seek. If the police are there, they hide and wait till they have gone and then we do our job.But if the police are there they disrupt our work and puncture the dinghy.In the past, it was just the trucks. The police now know from which points smugglers send people.Cross-Channel smuggler speaks to Sky NewsYes, it's normal. People take four days [to travel] from Greece to Italy. Compared to that trip, this journey is nothing.Sometimes, they cross themselves.
Even when the weather is not good, they are addicts and just want the money and to play with people's lives.If you tell the migrants"tonight is good", everyone swarms around you and they don't care. They don't know about the weather. Some of the smugglers are mafia, not smugglers, and do it only for the money. They know the weather is not good, but they still play with people's lives.The ones who did it were mafia - they have no heart.
