Two Vietnamese nationals were sentenced in the U.K. for running a people‑smuggling operation advertised on Facebook: Hop Nguyen (36) received 12 years and Hoang Nguyen (25) received 10.5 years. Operating from January 2023 until their April 2024 arrest, they facilitated at least 250 migrants entering the U.K. via small boats, charging about £3,000 per person and generating nearly £750,000 in profit; both face deportation.
