Lorry driver who admitted role in deaths of 39 migrants in Essex moved to Northern Ireland prison

A lorry driver jailed for his part in a lucrative people-smuggling operation that ended in the tragic deaths of 39 Vietnamese migrants in an airtight container in Essex has been moved to a prison in Northern Ireland to serve the remainder of his sentence.

Prison sources have confirmed that Robinson was moved to Maghaberry, a high security prison near Lisburn, in March. “These include having close family resident in the receiving jurisdiction.“These arrangements help provide prisoners with easier access to a supportive family environment, which is considered a crucial element of a prisoner’s rehabilitation journey.”

Haulage boss Ronan Hughes, 44, of Co Armagh in Northern Ireland, was described in court as having played a “pivotal” role with his fleet of lorries.
