A man from Manchester accused of being part of a people smuggling gang is being hunted. Six men, including one from Longsight, have been jailed for a total of 26 years for transporting migrants through Portsmouth port and into the UK in the back of a refrigerated lorry.
However, the National Crime Agency say the alleged ringleader of the group and his accomplice remain at large.
Goran Jalal, aged 37 and from Bradford, is suspected of organising crossings, while Hemin Ali Salih, aged 37 and from Gorton, is wanted after being convicted of attempting to use Jalal’s criminal network to smuggle a relative to Britain.
