Episode Details

A notorious French people smuggler, once dubbed the “godfather” of migrant camps, is now allegedly living in Leicestershire seeking asylum — sparking outrage and urgent action from local officials. Convicted in 2016 for smuggling illegal immigrants and earning up to £100,000 weekly, Twana Jamal denies involvement but didn’t deny his identity when shown a courtroom photo. He’s also been linked to two mini-marts, which he denies working at — despite being seen behind the counter. South Leicestershire MP Alberto Costa called his presence “utterly unacceptable,” demanding the Home Office intervene and urging locals to avoid businesses tied to him. The Home Office insists all asylum seekers undergo security checks, while police and authorities are actively investigating and coordinating with immigration agencies to safeguard the public.
