A dealer who targeted communities (Ed: no, just junkies...) in Southend will be deported after serving jail time for selling Class A drugs.
Aurel Elmazi tried to convince police officers he was a victim of modern slavery and was being exploited when he was caught with 58 wraps of drugs.
Heh! An excuse so daft even Judge Samantha Leigh wouldn't buy it...
The courts ordered the drugs to be destroyed and that Elmazi be deported to Albania once he serves his sentence.
Wouldn't it have been better to destroy Elmazi, and send the drugs to Albania?
Amazingly enterprising for a 21 year old, don't you think, without anyone 'running him'?
ReplyDeleteBetcha he's just a small cog.
Te best way to deal with dealers is to make them swallow their wares.
Why do we bother paying fro prison time for these people? Why not just deport them and be done with it?
ReplyDeleteBucko,
ReplyDeleteor make them do their time in foreign prisons.
rbbarnet - Even better

I suspect this whole ‘modern slavery’ thing is just a useful cover-up when it suits. Rather like the ’trafficking’ of all those poor, virginal maidens.
ReplyDeleterbbarnet,
ReplyDeleteThis has been tried, with convicted felons deported so they can serve their sentence in prisons in their homeland, only for them to be released as soon as they arrive on their home soil, leaving them to return to the UK under a different name and therefore with no recorded convictions. Fingerprinting of all so called asylum seekers would help, but the woke authorities won't allow it.

ReplyDeleteOh, yes. 'Solo drug dealer' is rarer than a Greta Thunberg smile...
"Why do we bother paying fro prison time for these people? Why not just deport them and be done with it?"
To do time in Bulgaria, as rbbarnet points out!
"... just a useful cover-up when it suits."
Spot on! It allows the state agents to do what they love: paint predators as 'victims'.
"Fingerprinting of all so called asylum seekers would help, but the woke authorities won't allow it."
We are fighting the wrong enemy.
