"12,500 pounds to enter the UK"/ "Telegraph": Albanian gangs

Albanian smugglers have again received the attention of the British media "Telegraph". According to the British media investigation, the gangs offer and secure passports for £12,500 with photos resembling the illegal immigrant or criminal who wants to travel through Europe and enter the UK.

They claim they can bypass the biometric check by using old passports that can only be checked manually.

Passports from countries such as Greece, Romania and the Czech Republic are believed to have been stolen to resemble the person the gang is trying to smuggle.

"Albanian gangs advertise their services through a private page on Instagram with the tag "Passage to the UK" that has 1,600 followers," writes the British media.

“£12,500 to enter the UK! This is advertised through Instagram stories, which are deleted after 24 hours, instead of a public page to avoid detection and the platform acting to close the account. Instagram said it had removed the account after being contacted by The Telegraph.

An undercover reporter who sent a direct message to the account operators was told it would cost £12,500 per person for her and her boyfriend to go to the UK.

"Expenses for passports and travel tickets will be covered by us. You will pay when you arrive," was their reply.

Communications via Instagram

"Italy to London by plane. 100 percent safe travel with our people at airports. Payment only when you arrive in London. Get in touch. Only serious people.”

"Services for people in trouble in the UK (wanted by the police). From Italy to Ireland. From Ireland to London.”

"Arrival in the UK 100 per cent safe on the plane and for those deported from EU countries". Another offered ID and driver's license, as well as passports.
