A people smuggler has been jailed for more than 12 years for the manslaughter of 39 migrants who were found dead in a lorry trailer in Essex in 2019.

Marius Mihai Draghici, 50, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey last month to 39 counts of manslaughter and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration.

The Romanian is believed to have been a ringleader in the people-smuggling gang responsible for the deaths of the Vietnamese migrants.
