Robinson, 25, of Craigavon, Northern Ireland, was remanded in custody by magistrates in Chelmsford, Essex and will next appear at London’s Old Bailey court on November 25.
###
He was not required to enter a plea and spoke only to confirm his name and address.
###
Robinson was arrested shortly after the bodies were found in an industrial park in Grays, Essex on October 23.
###
On Saturday he was charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration and money laundering.
###
Robinson was seated quietly in a light-colored t-shirt on Monday as district court judge Timothy King said he was concerned the defendant might try to interfere with the investigation if released.
###
Robinson’s solicitor, Julian Hayes, made no application for bail, the UK’s PA news agency reported.
###
Crown prosecutor Oghenerouna Iguyovwe told the court that Robinson was part of a global ring to facilitate illegal immigration into the UK.
###
Victims not yet named
###
On Saturday, police said they would not speculate on the nationalities of those who had died in the truck, but were aware of reports of missing individuals in the Vietnamese community.
###
“We cannot realistically speculate at this time about the nationalities of all of our deceased within that vehicle,” Detective Chief Inspector Martin Pasmore of Essex Police said.
###
UK authorities are working with their Vietnamese counterparts to identify the victims, but have not yet officially named any of them or confirmed their nationalities.
###
All of the victims’ bodies have been transported from the trailer to Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford for post-mortem examinations, according to Essex Police.
###
Pasmore said he had agreed with the Vietnamese Ambassador to the UK to a method of sharing fingerprints in the hope that it would help with the identification of the victims.
###
Essex Police have appealed for anyone who may have information about the 39 deceased to come forward.
###
Three other people arrested in connection with the investigation have been released on bail, Essex police said on Sunday.
