The English media continues to pay attention to Albanians with criminal records, and the next one is reportedly Afrim Sinani.

Sentenced to 20 years in prison in Albania, Sinani has returned to the UK despite being deported from the scene of the crime more than a decade ago.

Afrim Sinani , 54, was seen walking on a busy main road last week and was found at a suburban address.

His young neighbors probably don't know about his wild past.

It is reported that back in 1996, Sinani shot a man in revenge and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He then fled and, together with his wife, illegally entered the United Kingdom in a lorry in 2000.

He lived in Ilford, Essex, with his wife and three children before being tracked down and extradited to Albania in 2010.

Amazingly, he is now back in the UK, living with his family in a council-owned house in north-east London, where the properties have been sold for more than £400,000.

Sinan appears determined to keep a low profile, often leaving home in the early hours of the morning. His extradition came after a years-long international manhunt.

Using the false name Afrim Pulaj , Sinan was granted asylum and a British passport after lying about being a refugee from Kosovo.

He, his wife and three children enjoyed £120,000 in benefits until 2010. Sinan's family was allowed to stay in the UK after he was deported.

Afrim Sinani was pictured walking near his home in northeast London. He has returned to the UK despite being deported more than a decade ago.

It is not known how or when he returned to the UK, but the Daily Mail learns that he was released from a prison in Albania in 2017. In 2021, a construction firm was registered in the name of his wife and son at their current address in London.

When the Mail visited Sinan's home, his wife told us he was not inside and refused to answer questions. Sinan did not respond to written questions from the English media.

The Home Office said it was ' committed to removing foreign national offenders as soon as possible './Taken from  Daily Mail
