The Telegraph: The twice-deported Albanian thief boasts of a Ferrari in the
The prestigious British newspaper The Telegraph has dedicated an article to the 28-year-old Albanian Dorian Puka, expelled twice from Britain and convicted of theft, who reportedly managed to enter Britain illegally again recently.

The Telegraph writes that the authorities are unable to deport him until his asylum claim is fully heard.

Meanwhile, the Albanian does not hesitate to show luxury by posting photos and videos of luxury cars on social networks.

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).

He 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.

During his time in a UK prison, he gained notoriety for using an illegal mobile phone smuggled into the prison to post pictures of himself on Instagram. He posed alongside the leader of an organized crime group who was serving a 12-year sentence for conspiracy to supply cocaine and money laundering.

After returning to Albania for several months, he traveled through Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands before beating border controls to re-enter Britain in December 2020, according to his Instagram account.

It is understood he has applied for asylum and has been on immigration bail and subject to electronic tagging since last year while he waits for a court to rule on his claim.

In addition to the Ferrari clip, he has posted photos and videos of his time on holiday at the Carbis Bay Hotel near St Ives, Cornwall, where he is seen walking on the beach with the tag on his feet.

His social media account also includes images of other luxury cars, including a Porsche Cayenne, a Mercedes G-Wagon, a Bentley Bentayga, a BMW X5, a Mercedes AMG and a Jaguar XF.

His sources of funding remain unknown, but Albanian reports suggest he has been staying in a £250,000 two-bed flat in Hounslow, west London.

A Home Office spokesman said: “Foreign nationals who commit crimes should have no doubt that the law will be enforced. Mr Puka has previously been deported from the UK. It is UK law that we cannot deport individuals where there are pending claims or representations.

"We have already started to deliver a huge increase in immigration enforcement and return activity to remove people who have no right to be in the UK, with 3,000 returned since the government came to power."
