Not only that but she absconded to Germany and had to be sent back to the UK.

dam savage should get at least 10 years.

[mushroom25]

according to informed wisdom, if she'd evaded capture until after march next year, she'd be beyond british justice......

[ladybirder]

No it's not. I'd bet on it that she'll try to do it again when she's out.

Mushroom, i was also going to mention that but thought it may digress

"Ferreira went on the run but was detained by German police on June 19 this year under a European Arrest Warrant."

She would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling European union policies.

should get 10 years and no time off for good behaviour.

[ladybirder]

Don't think she knows what good behaviour is Em.

[Spicerack]

Never thought of that, did we. As soon as we leave the EU all our criminals will be able to 'escape' to an EU country. Worse still, we'll be swamped by EU criminals escaping justice.
Some people are so dense they must have their own event horizon.

I was taking the p out of a couple of previous posts, webbo.

Ahh, ok, sarcasm doesn't come across well in writing.

Yes, 30 months is certainly too light for the unspeakably vile crime of people smuggling. 10 years with no remission would indeed be more suitable.
