The illegal immigrants paid the people traffickers 1,500 euro to be hidden in the back of a lorry heading for the UK.
The people traffickers considered the service stations along the E40 to be their territory and often used extreme violence against rival gangs.
It is alleged that the Kurds were involved in a number of stabbings and shootings over the past couple of months.
They also are said to have often used violence against those they were trafficking.
Most of the illegals came from Afghanistan, China, Iraq and Vietnam.
The Kurds worked in conjunction with Indian people traffickers.
The Indians brought the illegals to the various truck parks along the E40, while the Kurds loaded the illegals into the trailers with the full knowledge and consent of the truckers.
