(BBC) A people smuggler who helped to bring people into the UK on dinghies has been jailed for nine years.
Albanian national Vladimir Bardoshi, 36, led a gang that ferried illegal migrants across the Channel from France in dangerous conditions, police said.
Two accomplices were jailed in 2018, but police were unable to locate Bardoshi until he was found to be living in Spain in January.
He was extradited to the UK and pleaded guilty at Canterbury Crown Court.
Feim Vata and Xhemal Baco, who both pleaded guilty in November 2018, were arrested a month earlier while driving a vehicle carrying six Albanian migrants away from a Kent beach.
