 | Thomas Maher, 40, conspired to transport £1.5m of cocaine and launder £1m in cash. He was jailed for 15 years. The Irishman was arrested but never charged with the killing of 39 Vietnamese migrants in a truck trailer. Cops put him under surveillance for seven months until they arrested him a second time. |  |
 | The Vietnamese had paid £10,000 each to be smuggled into the UK.
They were placed on a truck in Europe, driven by Eamonn Harrison, to Zeebrugge, Belgium and put on a ferry. Truck driver Maurice Robinson collected the container from Purfleet, Essex, after it arrived. Robinson was sent a message saying: “Give them air quickly but don’t let them out.” He drove out of Purfleet port, stopped and opened the doors to find a tomb. Robinson, 26, and Ronan Hughes, 40, who ran a haulage company, admit manslaughter and conspiracy. |
