一名乌克兰公民因在一艘价值15,000英镑（20,000美元）的游艇上犯有人口走私罪而被判刑，在服刑部分六年刑期后被驱逐出境。
A Ukrainian national convicted of people-smuggling offences on a £15,000 ($20,000) yacht has been deported after serving part of a six-year prison sentence.
内政部表示，弗拉迪斯拉夫·切尔尼亚夫斯基于3月12日在朴次茅斯皇家法院被判刑，并于9月被遣返出英国。
The Home Office said Vladyslav Cherniavskyi, who was jailed at Portsmouth Crown Court on 12 March was removed from the UK in September.
2025年7月，他与另一名乌克兰男子奥列克桑德尔·亚夫图申科被判定有罪，罪名是策划从法国北部乘船将移民偷运入英国，该船曾被边境部队巡逻船在怀特岛附近发现。边境安全和庇护事务国务大臣安娜·特利表示，切尔尼亚夫斯基的驱逐“传递了一个明确的信息[即]违反我们法律的外国罪犯将被遣返”。
In July 2025, he and another Ukrainian man, Oleksandr Yavtushenko, were convicted of plotting to smuggle migrants into the UK on the boat from northern France, which was found by a Border Force cutter off the Isle of Wight Minister of State for Border Security and Asylum Anna Turley said Cherniavskyi's deportation "sends a clear message [that] foreign criminals who break our laws will be removed".
切尔尼亚夫斯基承认在两年内犯下多项罪行，包括偷运一名带孩子的妇女以及一名未成年无人陪伴的越南女孩。
Cherniavskyi pleaded guilty to several offences committed over a two-year period, including smuggling a woman with a child, as well as a young, unaccompanied Vietnamese girl.
他多次使用这艘私人游艇在英吉利海峡运输移民，检察官将此描述为一个“非法移民出租车服务”，以牟取财利将他们送抵英国。
He used the private yacht to repeatedly transport migrants across the English Channel in what was described by prosecutors as an "illegal migrant taxi service", delivering them to the UK for financial gain.
内政部表示，法国执法部门提供的证据有助于促成定罪并导致其驱逐。
The Home Office said evidence provided by French law enforcement authorities had helped secure the convictions leading to his deportation.
其遣返被称作“政府致力于驱逐外国罪犯、打击有组织移民犯罪和保护英国公众”的证明。
It said his removal was "proof of the government's commitment to deport foreign criminals, disrupt organised immigration crime and protect the UK public".
“这个卑劣的罪犯在一个试图破坏我们边境完整、从非法移民中牟利并危及弱势群体生命的人口走私行动中发挥了关键作用，”特利说。“我们将继续在政府内部及与国际伙伴合作，将这些不法分子遣返出境。”
"This vile criminal played a key role in a people-smuggling operation that sought to undermine the integrity of our border, profit from illegal migration, and endangered the lives of vulnerable people," Turley said.
内政大臣沙巴娜·马赫莫德承诺，到2028/29财年将移民执法预算翻一番，并增加60%的劳动力人数。
"We will continue to work across government and with international partners to remove these bad actors." Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has pledged to double the Immigration Enforcement budget by 2028/29 and boost workforce numbers by 60%.
