FOR nearly two years, one of the chief financiers of the Seven gang based in the United Kingdom has been secretly helping gang leaders and their members in their bid to seek asylum in the UK, as the Seven gang sought to expand their criminal network in that country.

The UK government declared yesterday that due to a surge in asylum seekers from T&T (totalling 797 over the past two years), all nationals from the country will now require a visa to enter the UK.

Several top-level intelligence sources, citing multiple reports—including a January 5, 2025, Sunday Express exclusive story on a top Seven gang member’s presence in the UK—have confirmed that one of the gang’s financiers has been orchestrating a covert pipeline for its members to enter the UK.
