British media: How Albanian drug barons are mocking the immigration system in
Bujar Cozminca

When British police arrested Bujar Cozminca after he had "flooded" Britain with cocaine worth around 8 million pounds, they realized they were dealing with a character no stranger to justice.

The 33-year-old had already been deported from Britain on drug charges nine years ago, but he had no problem returning illegally to build his criminal empire.

He is one of many Albanians, part of the self-proclaimed "Boomerang" gang who are challenging the immigration system in Britain.

The gang's name was chosen because of the frequency with which they enter and exit British borders, like a boomerang.

An intelligence source told The Sun: " It's a complete disgrace. They are imprisoned and deported only to return to Britain and pick up where they left off. They are in and out of the border so often that they joke about them being boomerangs ."

In the last four years, at least 12 "high-level criminals" have returned to the UK after being deported.

Cozminca was first deported in 2012 after serving 21 months in prison for drugs.

He was deported to Albania, but returned to build his drug empire.

When he was arrested for the second time in 2021, police discovered that he was involved in the purchase and supply of 100kg of drugs, worth £8m, and had laundered £2.5m in proceeds of crime.

Using the codename "insatiable beta", he negotiated cocaine deals in huge quantities and laundered thousands of pounds of cash a week.

When National Crime Agency officers raided his two flats in Islington and Wembley in North London, they found £300,000 in cash and registers which revealed drug deals worth £2m.

He was jailed for 12 years at Snaresbrook Crown Court in June after admitting the crime.

Albanian mobsters have seized control of the drug market in Britain over the past two decades after forming an alliance with drug cartels in Latin America.

One in 50 Albanians living in the UK are in prison. Britain has more illegal immigrants than any other European country. In October, a study found that around 745,000 live in Britain.

Figures show that almost 400,000 legal migrants have been allowed in without criminal background checks since 2021.
