The judge said the penalty for defaulting on the order was two years in prison

A haulage boss jailed over the deaths of 39 men, women and children as they were smuggled into the UK has been ordered to pay their families more than £180,000.

Available assets included cash, bank accounts, the value of lorries, including the one in which the victims died, and Hughes' share of a property in Ireland.
