British media and official immigration statistics show that in the period of 2022, January-September, more than 13 thousand Albanians sought asylum in Britain, of whom 11 thousand entered illegally by boat.
The average payment for the passage was between 3-4 thousand pounds per person depending on the days.
Taking into account official reports of Albanian migrants entering Britain by boat and payments per person, smugglers benefited from around £38.5 million (€43 million) in payments from Albanian migrants alone.
Microfinance companies in England are facing an unusual demand for loans used for immigration. This service has worked as many of them have repaid the loan after leaving.
In other cases, the amounts were secured with debts from relatives, with savings from work, and drug cultivation was also one of these methods.
