The allegation is suspicion of manslaughter, aid to smuggling and illegal entry: after the death of 39 people in a refrigerated truck in Britain, there has been another arrest. The 36-year-old was arrested on Monday in Dalston, East London, police said.
On October 23, the corpses of 31 men and eight women were discovered in a refrigerated truck in a town in County Essex, near London. Presumably, they were smuggled into the country. A ship had previously brought the container from Belgium to England. All victims came from Vietnam. There had been arrests in the UK, Ireland and Vietnam in connection with the case.
At a hearing on Monday, the accused driver confessed to illegal immigration. The Nordire also admitted that it had cashed in between May 2018 and October 2019, the British news agency PA reported. The 25-year-old has to answer for manslaughter in 39 cases, including for manslaughter.
