Two car wash bosses were caught smuggling hundreds illegal immigrants into Britain after investigators found videos and selfies from asylum seekers on their phones.
Dilshad Shamo, 41, and Ali Khdir, 42, both had a secret 'double life' by operating the 'TripAdvisor for migrants' while appearing to run an innocent small business cleaning the cars of passing drivers.
The National Crime Agency has revealed the Fast Track car wash was a cover for their people-smuggling racket for cash.
One of the pictures appeared to show some of the illegal migrants beaming as they made their way to Britain on a boat, while another showed an asylum seeker hiding in the back of a lorry.
After their conviction, NCA branch commander Derek Evans said: 'Ali Khdir and Dilshad Shamo were leading a double life – while on the surface they seemed to be operating a successful car wash, they were actually part of a prolific people smuggling group moving migrants across Europe and taking thousands in payment.'
