A member of an Afghan trafficking gang that smuggled young boys into the UK on small boats before raping and blackmailing them with the footage has been kicked out of the country.
Zeeshan Banghis – also known as Bangash – and Saifur Rahman Ahmedzai were arrested by National Crime Agency extradition officers in December 2024 after a Belgian judge jailed them in their absence.
Banghis, 21, was sentenced to three years in jail in November 2024 and will now be extradited to Belgium to serve his sentence following a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
