Germany targets small boat gangs in secret police warehouse

Germany has conducted its first raids under a new law targeting migrant smuggling via small boats crossing the English Channel. During these operations, authorities seized over 9,000 life jackets, dozens of dinghies, engines, and pumps stored at a secret location in western Germany, which could have transported more than 2,000 migrants. The law, introduced last December, aims to hold those facilitating illegal crossings accountable, with authorities gaining increased ability to prosecute smugglers operating from Germany. The equipment was linked to gangs, possibly including Kurdish networks, that operate in the region to support migrant crossings from northern France into the UK.
