Daily Mail: Albanian asylum seekers pay corrupt police for fake documents

Albanian asylum seekers are paying corrupt police officers to write certificates in favor of their applications, writes the Daily Mail.

According to British media, Albanian immigrants often claim to have been threatened by criminals in their country with the intention of seeking asylum in the United Kingdom.

Since these applications are likely to be rejected without any evidence, organized criminal groups have stepped in to offer a solution, using corrupt officials.

A gang, operating through a TikTok account called “Various Jobs in Europe,” has directly advertised its services to Albanian immigrants who want to file false asylum claims.

“For the guys who are in asylum in Europe and England and you need proof that you have problems in Albania, contact us by message,” one of the posts says. “We can provide real statements from the state or hospitals that say you have been threatened in Albania. For more information, write to us.”

Using an Albanian mobile phone number, an undercover Daily Mail journalist pretended to have a relative in a UK detention centre who needed a certificate to claim asylum.

The response arrived within minutes, offering a letter for 3,000 euros (2,616 pounds).

The gang promised that the document would state that the imaginary cousin had been threatened in Albania and would include the signature, seal, and full name of the police chief who had issued it.

When asked for proof of a letter the gang had previously produced, they sent a document bearing the name of a police chief in Korça.

More than 17,000 Albanians sought asylum in the UK in 2022, before a deal to speed up returns reduced that figure to 2,648 by 2024.

The Home Office now considers the country safe and has rejected 97% of all applications in 2024, although some of these may have been successfully appealed.

The Daily Mail's undercover journalist contacted the "Miscellaneous Jobs in Europe" website earlier this year, writing: "I have a relative in a detention centre in London. How can we secure a statement to help him get out and claim asylum?"

A gang member replied: “Yes, we can make a statement saying he has problems in Albania. It will cost 3,000 euros.”

When the journalist asked who would issue the statement, the anonymous user said it would be issued by “the police” and would include “the signature, stamp, and full name of the police chief who signed it.”
