The British judge leaves the Albanian "speechless" who sentenced him
Father Pashnjar

An Albanian caught working as a gardener on a cannabis farm in Swansea said he was forced to work by smugglers who brought him to the UK. He also claimed that threats were made against him and his family.

A judge told Fatri Pashnjar that his confession was one he heard every week and that he was "very well known".

The 24-year-old defendant was jailed for 30 weeks, but what happens to him when he is released, having served no more than half his sentence in custody, is a matter for the Home Office.

Brian Simpson, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that on June 26 this year police executed a search warrant at a house in King Edward Road near the Brynmill area of ​​Swansea. He said that as the officers forced their way in through the back door, the defendant fled through the front door where he was stopped by officers waiting in the street.

A search of the property revealed that four rooms had been converted for the production of cannabis with walls lined with plastic sheeting, high-powered lights hanging from the ceilings and a network of ventilation ducts inserted through the walls.

A total of 156 plants were seized, around 80 of which were examples of mature female flowers, and the potential value of the yield from the operation was estimated at up to £67,000. Police also found that the electricity supply to the property had been bypassed.

The court heard officers found a new Albanian passport in Pashnjar's name along with £200 in cash, a set of house keys and a phone.

Officers were unable to unlock the phone, so its contents were not checked. Interviewed on the day of his arrest, the defendant admitted that he was responsible for watering and caring for the plants in the house. He said a man known as Alti had taken him home to pay off a debt to those who had brought him to the UK illegally and said threats had been made against him and his family. The court heard that Pashnjar had entered the UK illegally in 2022 and initially sought asylum, but shortly afterwards withdrew his claim.

Fatri Pashnjari, of no fixed abode, had previously pleaded guilty to producing cannabis when he appeared in the dock for sentencing. He has no previous convictions. Dan Jones, Pashnjar's lawyer, said his client had entered the UK illegally and was in debt to the people who smuggled him into the country.

He said when the defendant was brought to Swansea he was told he would be working in construction, but when he discovered the true nature of the job he felt unable to say no as he was worried the smugglers knew where he lived. his family and he was worried about what would happen to them.
