An Albanian criminal organization leader who smuggled hundreds of migrants to Britain has secretly returned to the United Kingdom after serving half of his ten-year sentence in a Belgian prison, the British newspaper Daily Mail reported in a recent article.
A.D, 36, was the leader of an Albanian gang that trafficked migrants – including children – in refrigerated trucks from Belgium.
He was arrested in 2018 at his home in Penz, in the south-eastern suburbs of London, and extradited to Belgium the following year, where he had already been sentenced in absentia to ten years in prison for organizing the smuggling ring.
During his trial, it was revealed that A.D, who had arrived in the UK in 2009, had been residing illegally since 2018, as his visa had expired. He should have been banned from re-entering the country because of his crime.
A Mail on Sunday investigation revealed that the 36-year-old served only five years in prison in Belgium before being deported to his homeland. However, sources in Albania said he left the country last year for Europe.

When it was pointed out to him that the Home Office had no record of his entry into the country, he warned British journalists not to approach his home again.
The 36-year-old told the Mail on Sunday that he had been living “legally” in the UK since June last year. However, Home Office officials said there was no evidence to confirm his entry into the country, leading journalists to conclude that he entered illegally.
