The British and German governments signed a joint action agreement to enhance cooperation in combating migrant smuggling, following revelations connecting Essen to trafficking activities.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that this agreement would empower German prosecutors by clarifying laws to criminalize aiding migrant smuggling towards the UK.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasized that through this joint effort, both countries aim to combat the organized criminal gangs that exploit vulnerable migrants in perilous conditions.
The agreement reflects a commitment to counter evolving tactics of people smuggling operations, which threaten border security and endanger lives.
