HANOI (Reuters) - Police in Vietnam have arrested eight people in relation to the discovery of 39 bodies in a truck near London last week, state media said on Monday.

 

"Based on what we learn from the suspects, we will actively launch investigations to fight and eradicate these rings which bring people illegally to Britain," said Nghe An province police chief Nguyen Huu Cau, according to the official Vietnam News Agency (VNA).

 

On Friday, Vietnamese police arrested two people and summoned others for questioning on suspicion of involvement in the incident.

Good work, every piece of string has two ends !

What may appear to be a single piece of string, was in fact, many pieces of string knotted together !   Many of the knots are know to the authorities, but there seems to be little co-operative effort to "loosening" these knots!. 

 

Knotty problems exist in Vietnam, China, Russia, Italy, France, UK. 

 

Agree, good work so far.
