TikTok and People Smugglers15 min
Available until 29/08/2027
This investigation reveals how people smugglers are using social media to encourage migrants to cross the English Channel illegally. In their TikTok videos, smugglers promote their services and compete with untenable promises: "crossing in just 3 hours", "1000% safe crossing", charging between €1,700 and €4,000 per person to take the perilous journey to reach Britain.
