Pair jailed for smuggling immigrants into Portsmouth
A French local councillor and her son have been jailed for helping to smuggle 16 Vietnamese immigrants into the UK.
Christiane Chocat, 51, of Lumigny-Nesles-Ormeaux, France, admitted hiding the group in a vehicle which arrived at Portsmouth on a ferry in October 2009.
Her son Benjamin, 20, of Choisy-Le-Roi, France, pleaded guilty to the same offence last month.
They were sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court to three years and five years respectively.
The Shrimp Noodles smuggling gang...it's got a certain ring to it!
