A judge who controversially permitted a knife-wielding drug dealer to remain in Britain was once on the board of a pro-asylum charity.
Fiona Beach found that Christian Quadjovie, 26, was not a threat to the public despite a string of convictions including for sexual assault, carrying a knife and repeat drug offences.
The French-born criminal has spent a total of 963 days in prison since arriving in the UK in 2009 at the age of ten.
But he was granted a reprieve by the judge, who is a former director at Asylum Aid and represented migrants for free on behalf of the Bail for Immigration Detainees charity, the Sun on Sunday reported.
The judgement has since been overturned after Government lawyers claimed it was ‘made against the weight of evidence.’
