Anyway, I thought that it was now mandatory to have a licence from the state of residency

Unless I am mistaken, doesnt that mean he would have needed a UK Licence
and a FAA licence for flights into, or out of, the UK?
That apart, I trust the UK CAA will revoke, permanently, any CAA or EASA licence he holds on the grounds of no longer being a "fit and proper person". Simultaneously, they should revoke (in his case) the exemption to fly in the UK on a foreign licence.
This to ensure he never flies again,or commits another aviation offence, after being released. There are precedents, but probably not for people trafficking.
I would hope the CAA act as swiftly as the French Authorities did.
It remains to be seen what consequences befall the rest of us as a result of this one mans actions....
