(ITV) A man who posed for selfies while piloting a small boat with 50 migrants on board has been jailed for three years and two months.
Reda Hamoud Abdurabou, 25, was sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court today (1 September) after being found guilty of assisting unlawful immigration to the UK and attempting to enter the country illegally.
Abdurabou took charge of a dangerously overcrowded small boat during an attempt to reach the UK illegally in July 2022.
He took pictures of himself as he did so, saving images to his phone that would later be used as evidence by the Home Office’s Criminal and Financial Investigations (CFI) unit.
