What an absolute joke. Should have been consecutive sentences. Hopefully, it haunts his everyday until death.

[sapete]

That sentence is nothing short of disgusting. Totally disrespectful to the poor victims and their families.

[EngCan]

Hows that a deterrent for people smugglers. Give life for each victim and let it run consecutively. The justice system is a joke

[Rambogner]

12 years 7 months is a disgrace for the offence. It shouldn’t be concurrent sentences, but in turn, so a whole life sentence. What a joke our judicial system is

[ypyp]

12 yrs, he will probably serve 6, for murdering 39.
Our judicial system is completely broken, this should be death penalty. Or give him to the relatives and let them dispense their justice if they so wish.

[Marties]

Eye for an him in a box with nothing. Not even air to breathe

[ghsense]

Why do they still wear wigs and wear Cromwell attire? Are we still in 1750

[chrisegan]

Why pay for all that time to house them when the death penalty would serve a far greater and cheaper purpose

[caz]

Better still, extradite him to Rumania and let them dish out the penalty

[amz]

Welcome to the Micky mouse 🐭 justice that’ is the uk 🇬🇧 rip the poor people who died 🙏🏾💙

[tameyiery]

Did this smuggler only get 12 years and 7 mos for the death of 39 people? For real????

[pete]

Should be death penalty! Justice in UK has become the laughing stock of the world!

[garyflores]

13 years for 39 murders is fundamentally unjust. Dam?

[elainemackenzie]

So how many years in total did he get?

[lcameron]

To all those demanding a life sentence need to look up the difference between manslaughter and murder.

[asmith]

he knew they couldnt survive its premeditated murder

[mainy]

12 years, probably be out in 6-9. What an absolute JOKE of a sentence.

[section]

Looks like the judge should be sentenced for life after that stupidity of a sentence. I wonder how he would have felt if it one of he’s family members or friends?🧐🧐🧐. What a 🤡🤡🤡. 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[gypsysong]

If that was an armed robber they would get 30 years

[RyanJones-ewvm]

I bet he's happy with that sentence.
