The small boats migrant who raped a 15-year-old girl after claiming asylum in Britain had lived as a tourist in THREE European cities before arriving in the UK.
Sadeq Nikzad, 29, travelled 4,000 miles from his native Afghanistan to reach the UK and seek asylum in 2021.
Yet a Daily Mail investigation reveals how he travelled through at least THREE safe countries and lived happily as a tourist before arriving in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, where he attacked the schoolgirl yards from his migrant hostel. He was jailed for nine years for rape.
The attack sent shockwaves across Scotland and prompted the country’s first angry protests against asylum hotels.
Extraordinary images suggest Nikzad’s trip through Italy, Germany and France before arriving on British soil was more of a luxury tourist adventure rather than a fight to flee persecution or danger.
