Fury as Albanian drugs mule booted out of UK is BACK & is selling naked pics on OnlyFans & flaunting lifestyle online
A FOREIGN drug mule who was booted out of Britain is back here after time in jail — and posing for naked snaps on an adult website.
Albanian Maksim Progni fled to the UK after he was arrested in Germany trying to smuggle a kilogram of cocaine.

He was extradited and jailed but less than two years later he returned to Britain — where he flaunts his trips to nightclubs and restaurants online, as well as posing in the nude on a £7.50-a-month OnlyFans page.
Progni, 36, has refused to reveal how he got here, sparking fears he may have arrived illegally.
He is thought to be living in East London and working as a personal trainer promoting himself with pics in his underpants and just a towel on Twitter and Instagram.
Progni is also trying to launch a career as an adult content creator with nude shots on OnlyFans.
He has also posted pics from the VIP section of South London nightclub Ministry of Sound and a posh Canary Wharf restaurant where wine costs as much as £530 a bottle.
And he boasted of spending £50 on lunch at department store Harrods.
Progni was pulled over by German cops in Wachtendonk, near the Netherlands border, in April 2016.
Documents obtained by The Sun reveal police found cocaine in his backpack weighing 1,048g.
An official report stated: 'In one compartment, a red plastic bag containing the suspected 'sale' was found, split into two packages with a black adhesive strip labelled 'max'.
'Both packages were opened, revealing a white powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine.'
Killer Albanian terrorist FREE to roam UK streets in human rights fiasco because he'd be hunted by mobsters if he's deported
Progni is believed to have fled to the UK soon afterwards.
In 2021, his lawyers told a court in Kleve, western Germany: 'He wishes to conclude the proceedings and return to a life where he is not wanted under an arrest warrant.
'He is aware that this requires him to face the criminal proceedings in Germany.'
Progni was extradited by Britain in September 2022 and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in February 2023 for importing a 'non-negligible' amount of narcotics.
He was sent back to Albania in February 2024, having served just 11 months. Under German laws he was eligible to be returned home having served 40 per cent of his jail term on remand and in prison.
He resurfaced in London in May last year.
Asked about his OnlyFans page, Progni told The Sun: 'I've been exploited by Albanian gangs in the past. Whatever my past, I deserve to live a normal life like everyone else.
'I do not work, because I am not allowed to work right now.'
He declined to reveal how he had re-entered Britain and insisted he earned no money from OnlyFans.
The Home Office was passed links to Progni's accounts but said it does not comment on individual cases.
A spokeswoman said: 'Foreign nationals who commit crime should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free to roam Britain's streets, including removing them from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.'
'NO REASON' ASYLUM WIN
AN IRAQI asylum seeker who told authorities he did not have a reason to be in the UK and asked for time to make one up won his fight to stay.
The unnamed man arrived in a lorry in 2016, but his asylum claim was refused in 2019, as were two appeals.
He then won the third, in Manchester, after medics agreed marks on his arm may have come from IS torture, as he had claimed.
The Home Office argued he was 'not credible' after he told officials he had no reason to be here, but the panel said he could not safely go home.

Ex-BBC football pundit BANNED from driving for six months after being caught speeding in his Mercedes
RETIRED BBC football pundit Garth Crooks got a six-month driving ban yesterday after being caught speeding again. The former Tottenham Hotspur striker, 67, admitted driving his 1.4l Mercedes A Class diesel hatchback at 24mph in a 20mph zone. 1 He complained that the speed camera that caught him in Holloway, North London, in January this year was hidden. But JPs at Lavender Hill magistrates' court said the limit applies at all times and not just when a camera is spotted. Crooks already had nine points for two speeding offences and a traffic signal rap. He got a further three — triggering an automatic ban. FA Cup and Uefa Cup-winner Crooks was fined £666 with £110 costs. He was also and ordered to pay a £266 victim surcharge. Crooks - who was awarded the OBE in 1999 - told the court he was now 'retired' and in receipt of a £118,000 a year pension. On seeing a press photographer outside, Crooks covered his face with his jacket as he descended the court steps. Martin Keown battles epic rant from Garth Crooks on BBC's Final score

My girlfriend dumped me after she had several affairs – and is lying to friends and family that I'm the cheater
DEAR DEIDRE: MY lazy girlfriend spent all day on TikTok and social media, while I worked, cleaned the house and looked after the kids. Now I've learned she was constantly setting up new hook-ups and conducting several affairs. I'm not even sure if both my children are actually mine, or if I've been bringing up one of her lovers' kids. Talk about disrespect. Now she has thrown me out and told everyone I'm the one who has been cheating on her, so they think I'm the bad guy. I don't know what to do. I'm 42 and she's 40. We've been together for 12 years and have two children, aged ten and eight. If I'm honest, she treated me badly from the start. She often lied about where she was going, met up with exes who she pretended were just friends and secretly messaged other men. But she was always ready with a good excuse and she used her charms to reel me back in. We only had sex when she wanted it, the way she wanted it. She'd use it to control me. A couple of years after we had our first baby, a man turned up saying the boy was his. I was gutted as, by then, I loved the child. She denied it, of course. After that, we had patches where things were OK, but then she'd start being secretive again. If I said anything it would end up in a huge, nasty row. Dear Deidre After Dark- Understanding open relationships Last week, out of the blue, she told me to pack my stuff and leave. She accused me of having an affair — which is ridiculous, as there is no time, with a full-time job, housework and all the childcare. She has told her friends and family the same story, so they hate me. She said she'd just started seeing someone else. I think she has actually been seeing him for months. I feel like I've been used, chewed up and spat out. But if I tell people the truth they won't believe me. Please help. DEIDRE SAYS: You've been in an abusive relationship with a woman who sounds like a narcissist. She gaslit you – and everyone else – and now it sounds like she's moved on to her next prey. This is not your fault. You're a good man who has tried to do your best for your family. You need support for your emotional health, advice to make sure you continue to have a relationship with your children and that you get what you're legally entitled to. Don't worry about what others think. I'm sure they're aware of what she's really like. My support pack, Abusive Partner, will show you where to get help. For advice on your rights, contact Both Parents Matter ( 0300 0300 363). Thank you for advice when my guy faced a trial DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my partner faced imprisonment, leaving me and our three children to manage alone, I was petrified. He was charged with assault and due to stand trial. I believed he was innocent, but we were warned he could face several years in prison. I'm in my mid-40s and we have been together since we were teenagers. The long lead-up to the trial was making me so anxious, and I didn't know how I'd be able to cope if he was sent down. But I couldn't tell him how worried I was as I didn't want to upset him more. I knew I needed to stay strong for our kids and stop feeling so depressed and weepy, so I wrote to you for advice. You were so understanding, telling me I needed support and shouldn't keep my feelings inside. You recommended I contact a charity called Prisoners' Families ( 0808 808 2003) who could guide me through what to expect, and be there for me. I appreciated that you didn't patronise me, acknowledging that simply saying 'don't worry' wasn't going to help. You sent me your support pack on Coping With Stress, which showed me ways to relax. Although I am still very anxious, I now feel better able to cope. Thank you Deidre. DEIDRE SAYS: I'm glad that my advice helped – but you're stronger than you think. Remember, there is support out there if your partner does go to prison. HURT BY HIS SEX TALK WITH EX, BUT I WANT TO REUNITE DEAR DEIDRE: I BROKE up with my boyfriend because he told his ex intimate details about our relationship, but now I'm wondering if I made a big mistake. I'm not sure if I can trust him, but I miss and love him. We're both in our late 20s and were together for 11 months. As our relationship developed, he sent out strong signals that he was thinking about marriage and was going to propose. But then I found out he was still good friends with his ex. She has a new partner, so I wasn't jealous, but I did feel uncomfortable. One day, a message from her flashed up on his WhatsApp. It asked if he'd had any more luck getting me into bed. I was horrified and humiliated, and had a massive row with my boyfriend, which led to us breaking up. We got back together, but after that I found it hard to trust him. He admitted he didn't want to give up his friendship with his ex. He also said that he wasn't ready to get married, and didn't know if he ever would be. I decided to end the relationship again. Now I'm not sure I did the right thing. I can't stop thinking about him. DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds like your ex boyfriend wasn't as happy about waiting for sex as he'd first appeared. It was wrong of him to share intimate details with his ex, but perhaps he needed to talk to someone he trusted. In a way, it's good he's been honest now and made it clear he isn't ready for marriage. It also sounds like he's not completely over his ex. If marriage is what you want, then perhaps it's better for you to find someone who shares your values and is ready for that commitment. If you get back together, the same issues will inevitably crop up again. It would be helpful for you to talk this through with a counsellor. TEENAGE TROUBLES DEAR DEIDRE: ONE of my mates believes I'm her best friend, but I find her spoiled and annoying. Three of us hang out together, but it's the other girl who's really my best pal, and she just gets in the way. We're all 16 and at school together. Last weekend, she got upset because she didn't want to go to a particular shop, so my best friend and I just went together. She says we should have included her and gone somewhere else. It's causing stress. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: Friendship groups can be tricky, as someone is always going to feel excluded. She sounds insecure. Maybe she's aware you prefer your other friend. Try to explain, kindly. But if things don't get better, you might need to distance yourself from her. My support pack, Rows With Friends, should help.
