A ruthless people-smuggler who was walking London’s streets despite being kicked out of the UK has been jailed after The Mail on Sunday exposed his return.
Alket Dauti, 38, led a vile gang that smuggled hundreds of illegal migrants from Belgium inside refrigerated lorries, masterminding the operation from his British base.
The group, comprising Dauti and his cousins, even wrapped migrants’ hands and feet – some of whom were children – in plastic bags so as not to leave any traces in the lorries.
Dauti has been sentenced to eight months in prison after the MoS told the authorities he had illegally returned to the UK.
But the gangster will not automatically be sent back to his native Albania after his term ends, despite being a twice-convicted criminal.
