The boss of a Chinese “snakehead” gang who masterminded an £11 
million operation to smuggle asylum-seekers into Britain was jailed 
for seven years yesterday.

The gangsters had put En to work in an illegal gambling den in 
London’s Chinatown, where two months later both defendants were 
arrested.
