He’s pleaded guilty in court today.
Only to conspiracy to commit unlawful immigration and money laundering. He’s not yet pleaded to the manslaughter charges although given his other guilty pleas, I can’t see how he could plead anything but guiltyHe’s pleaded guilty in court today.
The investigation was still ongoing in march and april , I think all the covid news meant it wasn't as well publicised.Yes it went to trial, look it up. Others involved were caught.
He hasn't been releasedEDIT: can someone remove the link to that article? I actually didn't realise it named him. I would prefer his name not be on here as he was released without charge. Cheers.
I was one of them sadly! Well, I wasn't exactly "free Mo" and changing my profile pic etc but I knew Mo briefly years ago through mutual friends and he was a nice, quiet guy. I just didn't think he had it in him. I was genuinely so shocked when truth came out. First to admit and hold my hands up he had me fooled. Quiet ones you need to watch! Hope he gets what he deserves and a long, lengthy sentence the scumbag.I’d like to know what all the “Free Mo” protesters had to say now?![]()
What is it called?Interesting docu following this case on iplayer. Really shows how they got them all.
I just finished watching! Incredibly moving.![]()
BBC Two - Hunting the Essex Lorry Killers
The hunt for the gang responsible for the deaths of 39 Vietnamese people found in a lorry.www.bbc.co.uk
Quite umsettling but would recommend
I genuinely believe Mo didn’t understand the risk or possibility of people dying. Which was very naive of him. Greed got the better of him too.I was one of them sadly!

Yes I believe that too. He was a very quiet guy when i knew him. A genuinely nice enough guy who lived a quiet life, always into his lorries etc and very country living. I do think he was easily manipulated into it but also like you say greed got the better of him too. Seeing all that easy money come in & such a young age. I'm originally from Portadown, he lived just outside it Laurelvale/Tandragee direction I believe in quite a large house. Not sure whats happened with the house but the salon is still operating though no idea if its by her or someone else now. I read a while ago that he has seen the twins as the girlfriend took them over to see him a few times but that could be just rumours.I genuinely believe Mo didn’t understand the risk or possibility of people dying.

He definitely deserves all he got & the whole people smuggling racket is a disgrace, these men are taking advantage of extremely desperate people.
Wonder when he will get out…. Read on here his girlfriend had twins…. Wonder does he see them? Was the house she lived in seized? Didn’t she own a salon in Portadown? Dottie Avenue or a name similar to that?
It must be horrendous for his family? Given he’s from a good background.Yes I believe that too. He was a very quiet guy when i knew him.

how many years did he get sentenced for? i feel like I was reading about everything that happened and then all of a sudden it wasn’t getting reported anymore?It must be horrendous for his family? Given he’s from a good background.
I read his father was a football coach?
