Episode Details

Two mini-marts in Leicestershire were shut down after being linked to Twana Jamal, dubbed the “godfather” of people smuggling in France and convicted in 2016. Just after the closure, new companies sprang up at the same addresses — a move experts say is a major red flag. The council’s temporary closure order remains in place until at least July 20, and any new operator would need a fresh license — especially if selling alcohol. Police are reviewing the premises license, while Jamal, who claims he’s seeking asylum, denies any involvement in smuggling or his French conviction. The legal and investigative wheels are turning — and these shops aren’t reopening anytime soon.
