Eamonn Harrison, 22, was charged with human trafficking and immigration offences, as well as 39 offences of manslaughter.

The UK authorities, citing signed documentation and CCTV footage, alleged that Harrison delivered the trailer in which the people were found to a Belgian port before its onward journey to Britain, Ronan Kennedy, a lawyer for the Irish state said.

Judge Donald Binchy said the matters raised required additional information from British prosecutors before a hearing date that he set for Dec. 12. Two other Northern Irish men are also wanted on suspicion of manslaughter and human trafficking, while eight people were also arrested earlier this month by Vietnamese police, bringing the total number of arrests there to 10.

The container was picked up at Purfleet dock, east of London and a British court heard this month that a global ring was involved.
