The British newspaper The Telegraph has dedicated an article to the Albanian Dorian Puka, a 28-year-old twice deported from Britain and convicted of theft, who is reported to have recently managed to re-enter Britain.
The English newspaper says the authorities are unlikely to deport him until his asylum claim is fully heard. Meanwhile, he does not hesitate to show luxury by posting photos and videos of luxury cars on social networks.
Writing in The Telegraph :
A convicted thief from Albania has filmed himself driving a Ferrari in London, despite being deported twice from the UK.
Dorian Puka, 28, who has been jailed and deported for theft twice, sneaked back to the UK and posted a 90-second video of himself driving the £300,000 car to his TikTok and Instagram accounts.
The Home Office admitted it was powerless to remove Puka again until his asylum claim was fully heard, but warned foreign criminals should have "no doubt" about law enforcement.
The event comes after another Albanian criminal, who re-entered Great Britain after being deported, won the right to stay based on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
It prompted calls from Tory MPs for the UK to leave or reform the ECtHR, with Robert Jenrick, the former immigration minister and Tory leadership contender, saying the convention had become a "charter for criminals".
Puka was initially jailed for nine months in 2016 and then deported the following year for attempting to rob a property. The owner saw it on a security camera while on vacation in France.
However, within a year, he managed to evade border controls and return to Britain and carry out a string of burglaries in the suburbs of London.
The gun was eventually caught by officers on patrol in Surbiton in south-west London following an increase in local burglaries while wearing an expensive watch he had stolen.
He was jailed for three and a half years and then deported in March 2020.
