National Crime Agency announces crackdown on lawyers who help traffickers abuse modern slavery laws amid concerns some solicitors are in league with criminal gangs launching bogus asylum claims
Investigators are planning a crackdown on lawyers enabling immigration crime
Few cases in the past have resulted in anyone actually struck off for misconduct
Britain's 'FBI' is to go after the lawyers helping traffickers abuse modern slavery laws to secure asylum for migrants entering the UK, it emerged yesterday.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has announced plans to pursue corrupt immigration solicitors in league with criminal gangs who are suspected of launching scores of bogus claims.
The development comes after an explosion in claims from Albanian migrants who made up more than half of modern slavery claims lodged by small-boat arrivals in the first half of last year.

Now investigators plan a crackdown on those in the legal profession enabling immigration crime which could involve as many as 100 solicitors, the head of the NCA's modern slavery and human trafficking unit estimated yesterday.
