Jetmir Myrtaj, 44, formerly of Leicester but now without a fixed address, was charged yesterday evening and appeared before Nottingham magistrates today.

A boat was also seized in the Essex town of brightlingsea/">Brightlingsea.
Four other men are scheduled to appear in Nottingham Crown Court on March 29 for their alleged roles in the group.
