Prolific People Smuggler Caught After Yacht of Migrants Ran Aground
Mohammed Ali Nareman organised multiple migrant crossings via boats and lorries, with Border Force detaining 14 people from Iran, Iraq, and Albania near Rye Harbour.
- On February 12, Maidstone Crown Court found Mohammed Ali Nareman from London responsible for people‑smuggling via HGVs, small boats and a yacht near Rye Harbour, East Sussex.
- Investigators uncovered a digital footprint showing months of organising crossings, sharing maps of the French and British coastlines, migrant passports, and links to Ali Omar Karim, from Portsmouth.
- Footage and onboard videos showed figures jumping into the River Rye as the boat struggled, while translated videos recorded passengers identifying as 'Hama Kalari's passengers'.
- Border Force detained 14 individuals including two children from Iran, Iraq and Albania within two hours, and one migrant’s contact led to Nareman’s arrest, the NCA said.
- Deemed unfit to stand trial due to depression, panic attacks and PTSD, Nareman faced a trial of the facts at Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday while the NCA called him 'extremely prolific'.
