Another car wash used as a front for people smuggling, like all other cash only business that have popped up in recent years they're used to launder money and help in trafficking people into the UK...
Migrants asked to rate trip in smuggler review videos
Two men have pleaded guilty to people smuggling midway through their trial.
They were found to have Tripadvisor-style reviews of their journeys on their phones.
In the clips, migrants from the Middle East, heading to Europe, rate their journeys in videos filmed inside lorries, boats and planes.
"How was the route, lads?" They're asked in one.
Dilshad Shamo and Ali Khdir's smuggling operation, based in a car wash in Caerphilly, offered the migrants "bronze, silver, gold and platinum" travel packages.

On Friday I put the news about a criminal investigation to Mr Gething. We were told the issues had "previously been addressed" by him.
Today, Mr Gething says he only found out about the criminal investigation 'when it was reported'.
