The Albanian ' King ' of drugs has become the first criminal convicted in England, who was extradited to our country, as part of the prisoner exchange agreement.
We are talking about Klodjan Çopjan , 36 years old, who will continue his remaining 17 years in prison in Albania, saving British taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds.
He was jailed in 2017 after police busted a cocaine-trafficking ring that had taken over south-east London.
Chopja spent four years on the run before being caught at the Greece-Albania border with a fake passport and extradited to Britain to stand trial.
Sources of the Directorate of Albanian Prisons confirmed that his transfer took place a few weeks ago.
"He was arrested as a result of a Metropolitan Police investigation into the UK cocaine supply network and was found to be behind the importation of £60m of the drug.
But his ultra-violent network of fellow Albanians from Elbasan had imported up to 150 million pounds of cocaine into Britain," reports the Daily Mail.
We remind you that, as part of the agreement with Albania, over 100 drug dealers, 12 murderers and eight rapists are expected to return to Albania to complete their sentences./Taken from The Sun
