(Sky News) Six men have been convicted of people-smuggling and sent to prison following a joint operation between British and French police.
The men were given sentences ranging from two to five years after a trial in the French city of Douai.
The gang comprised of Iraqi Kurds Alan Mohammad Ali, Zana Reza and Peshawa Hassan, as well as Afghan Naweed Safi and Sudanese Abdou Adame.
The sixth member was Hafid Belghoul, the only French national.
The investigation has been heralded, on both sides of the Channel, as a triumph of closer collaboration.
