Twice deported Albanian criminal who snuck back into UK now flaunting cash on social media | UK | News
An Albanian criminal who was twice deported from the UK is flaunting his wealth on social media after sneaking back into the country. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is now working to deport 29-year-old Dorian Puka, twice imprisoned and deported for theft, for a third time.
He was first jailed in 2016 for trying to break into a house in Twickenham. Puka spent nine months behind bars before being deported in 2017. However, he returned within a year and committed a series of thefts. He was captured in Surbiton, south-west London, before being sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison. Albanian was subsequently deported in March 2020 but has since returned to the UK.
As reported by Daily MailPuka has spent the last 18 months flaunting his wealth on social media. One video shows him feeding his dogs Cobra and Mouse £20 and £50 notes, while other clips show Puka driving a Ferrari and a £180,000 Lamborghini URUS V8.
He also showed off his expensive clothes, restaurant meals and Rolexes. Although his criminal record made him eligible for deportation from the UK, the Home Office was unable to do so because his asylum claim was ongoing.
A Home Office spokesman said: “This individual is a known foreign national criminal and we are doing everything we can to ensure they are eliminated as quickly as possible. “While there are ongoing legal proceedings we are unable to comment further.
“Approximately 10,000 foreign national criminals have been extradited under this Government. We will continue to do everything we can to remove these criminals from our streets.”
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is working to stop foreign criminals using human rights laws to prevent their deportation from the UK. The newly introduced Immigration and Asylum Act will introduce stricter measures to close loopholes and streamline the deportation process.
It amends Article 8 (the right to private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and hopes to reduce the ability of criminals to exploit loopholes such as family ties to remain in the UK.
