"Record of criminals living in England", British media: Albanian "Kings" control the cocaine trade

Home Office figures show that 11,561 offenders "subject to deportation action" are still in the community. This number has almost tripled over the past ten years. In 2012, 3,943 criminals were still living in England.

Alarmingly, the number of foreign offenders subject to deportation action who are still living in England five years after their conviction has risen from 1,191 in 2013 to 3,589 in June. This has prompted fresh calls for ministers to get tougher and protect Britain's fragile borders.

Two weeks ago, Home Secretary Priti Patel revealed that she had ordered officials to "renew the pursuit of dangerous criminals who destroy lives and communities".

And first figures from the Daily Express reveal the true scale of the problem, with the backlog increasing year on year. This is likely due to countries refusing to take back their criminals. Priti Patel has pursued return deals with many countries and has already secured deals with Albania and Pakistan - two of Britain's largest foreign national populations.

The number of foreign national offenders living in the community despite being eligible for deportation began to rise in 2017. By 2018, Britain was unable to deport 6,249 foreign criminals. The following year, this increased to 7,015 and 8,497 the following year. By Christmas 2020, this figure had reached over 10,000.

And it has continued to grow since then - but the prisons minister yesterday told the Daily Express he is confident the government will soon get the issue under control.

Alp Mehmet, Chair of Migration Watch UK, said: "Migration Watch UK has long shown the outrageous way foreign national offenders are being released into the community simply because the government can't put them on a flight wherever they are coming from and don't know what else to do with them.

"What is particularly concerning is that many of those who roam freely in unsuspecting communities may pose a threat to public safety. "But it seems that the safety of law-abiding citizens is less important to the government than the rights of foreign offenders."

The Daily Express understands that security services fear Albanian crime lords - who control much of the UK's cocaine trade - are smuggling new recruits into Britain.

The National Crime Agency and regional organized crime units believe Albanian gangs - which control most of the UK's cocaine networks - are increasing their stranglehold by bringing foot traffic across the Channel.

And this newspaper understands that the threat from Albanian gangs of organized crime is "also moving up the list of priorities of the security service".

Former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage told the Daily Express: “If you think the situation is bad now, wait until the hundreds of Albanians who crossed the Channel in August join the gangs already established here.

" It's a recipe for disaster ." Separate Home Office figures released a few weeks ago show that the UK has removed 1,741 foreign national offenders since 1 January 2022.

These include rapists, pedophiles, hit-and-run drivers, people smugglers, kidnappers, thieves and drug dealers.

Sekretarja e Brendshme Priti Patel tha në atë kohë: “Kam ngarkuar ekipet e Home Office që të ripërtërijnë ndjekjen e kriminelëve të rrezikshëm që shkatërrojnë jetë dhe komunitete dhe i lënë viktimat dhe familjet e tyre të marrin pjesët. Ato duhet të hiqen me shpejtësi në mënyrë që ne t’i bëjmë rrugët tona më të sigurta”.

Ministri i Burgjeve, Stuart Andrews, në një intervistë ekskluzive për Daily Express, tha: “Gjatë dy viteve të fundit, 11,500 shtetas të huaj janë dëbuar në vendin e tyre.

“Ne do të vazhdojmë. Ky është qëllimi ynë për të vazhduar ta bëjmë këtë.

“Ne e dimë përmes etiketimit se ku janë. Ne e kuptojmë se kjo është një çështje e rëndësishme.

“Ndonjëherë masat që duhet të marrim për t’i lehtësuar këto gjëra kërkojnë pak kohë, përmes pjesëve të ndryshme të legjislacionit e kështu me radhë.

"But I am confident that we are on a trajectory now that we will be able to resolve this. I know that my colleagues at the Ministry of the Interior are focusing on this issue."
