A Jury finds Uber driver Vijayakumar Sivakumar guilty of ferrying illegal immigrants away from Deenethorpe airfield near Corby
The court was told he’d been involved in the plot to bring Albanians from Belgium to Deenthorpe airfield. A jury has found a taxi driver guilty of being involved in a plot to fly Albanians into Corby in a small aircraft.
Vijayakumar Sivakumar, 43, of Tooting in London, had denied the charge of assisting the illegal entry of immigrants into the UK.
But during a two-week trial at Leicester Crown Court, the jury heard how he the Sri Lankan national received hundreds of messages from one of the ringleaders Kujtim Karanxha – known as Tim K – in the months before the plot.
He had also received a number of payments from him into his bank account including one for £3,000.
Sivakumar was arrested at Phoenix Parkway along with four Albanians who had that morning flown into Deenethorpe from Belgium. He had picked them up at the airfield in the back of his taxi after travelling up from London in the early hours of March 24 last year.
