Indian man jailed in England for organising lorry migrant smuggling to France

An Indian man has been jailed for five years and three months in south-east England after admitting his role in smuggling migrants from the UK to France in the back of lorries. Jaskirat Singh, 25, pleaded guilty earlier this month to conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration to a member state. The UK's Crown Prosecution Service said Singh played a central role in the movement of non-British nationals between December 2024 and March 2026 and is believed to have earned around 185,000 pounds from the operation. He was sentenced by Canterbury Crown Court on Thursday. According to the CPS, the case came to light after 11 Indian nationals were found hiding in the trailer of a lorry stopped at Dover in December 2024. Information provided by them, along with details from four other Indians found in a separate lorry travelling to France in January 2025, led authorities to Singh and his address in Wolverhampton. An investigation led by Immigration Enforcement found what the CPS described as extensive incriminating material on Singh's mobile devices, including voice notes, images, messages and videos. Some of the images had been saved from TikTok and advertised crossings to France. Singh was arrested, interviewed by Immigration Enforcement officers and later charged. Among the evidence was a video, believed to have been filmed by Singh, showing a large number of 20-pound notes spread out on a bed.

Ben & Jerry's cofounder shares his advice for young people — and it's not to become an Uber driver

Ben & Jerry's cofounder Ben Cohen. Business Insider/Theron Mohamed Ben & Jerry's cofounder says young people should chase their passion, not a big paycheck. Ben Cohen said that doing what you love is "worth a lot of money." The ICE (immigration enforcement agency) cream legend took aim at billionaires and Ben & Jerry's parent company. Passion trumps pay when it comes to choosing a career, Ben Cohen says. Speaking on the sidelines of the SXSW London festival earlier in June, the Ben & Jerry's cofounder shared with Business Insider his advice for young people worried about affordability and AI. "I was going to say, learn how to be an Uber driver, but Waymo is taking over that shit," Cohen quipped. On a serious note, he said people should pursue a career "because you love the work , not in order to make money." Aspiring entrepreneurs should "find a small niche in the market, a void, and fill it," he continued. "The only reason I became an ice cream man is because nobody would buy my pottery that I was making." Doing good while doing well Cohen said he's learned that when it comes to money, "you don't need that much of it" to be happy. He and his cofounder, Jerry Greenfield , didn't start their ice cream company to become fantastically wealthy, he said. The business was sold to Unilever in 2000, then spun off as part of The Magnum Ice Cream Company last year.
