Mini-Marts Linked to Convicted People Smuggler | Leicester News
Description
Two mini-marts in Blaby are kept shut after authorities link them to Twana Jamal, a man convicted in France for people smuggling — despite his claims of seeking asylum in the UK. A BBC investigation found him working at the shops, and while the court didn’t grant a full three-month closure, it extended the emergency shutdown until July 20th, giving time for further legal action. Jamal didn’t deny being in the photos from his French trial, even as local MP Alberto Costa condemned the situation as “utterly unacceptable.” The council, working with police, says they acted swiftly and hope the delay allows deeper investigations to continue.
