Three men jailed in two cases of smuggling Albanians into the UK
Two men have each been jailed for more than four years for smuggling 18 Albanian migrants into the UK.
They were caught when the group, including two children, were rescued from their sinking inflatable boat a mile-and-a-half off Kent in May.
Immigration officials said the Albanians were "in a perilous state" and facing potential death.
In a separate case, another man was jailed after 17 Albanians were discovered at Chichester Marina.
Each of the migrants rescued from Kent had paid 6,000 euros (£5,000) to make the trip across the Channel.
