The Kosovan national was locked up in 2018 after pleading guilty at Aylesbury Crown Court to conspiracy to facilitate illegal immigration. He had links to a lorry that was caught by the National Crime Agency in Milton Keynes in 2016 having nine Albanian adults and two children hidden next to a concrete mixer inside.

Bazegurore is expected to be deported in the next few weeks. It comes after a sick Palestinian gran won permission to come to Britain for medical treatment — despite fears it could undermine immigration controls. Most read in The Sun The 67-year-old has a daughter, 50, living in Britain. She argued successfully at an immigration tribunal last month they had a right to family life under a European Human Rights rule. But in court documents seen by The Sun on Sunday, the Home Office warned it could also lead to a 'proliferation' of similar applications. The woman, who suffers from spinal stenosis, is financially supported by her daughter. She lives in war-torn Gaza City and was deemed vulnerable by the tribunal as she suffers from PTSD and depression. The treatment is expected to cost about £20,000 at a private hospital in Windsor, Berks, and the woman will return to Gaza after it is completed. Upper Tribunal Judge Rebecca Owens allowed her appeal for a visitor visa. 'Right to family life' deportation loophole to FINALLY be closed in long-awaited crackdown By Harry Cole and Jack Elsom A LONG-awaited crackdown on dodgy 'family life' loopholes in deportation cases will take a huge step forward. Judges will be ordered to ignore bogus claims featuring laughable excuses which left-wing lawyers have been able to repeatedly exploit. An Albanian criminal was recently allowed to stay under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights partly because his son A senior Government source promised: 'The bonkers predicament that Britain finds herself in where a migrant can dodge deportation thanks to our own lawyers weaponising Article 8 because they 'The European Convention on Human Rights has taken the mickey for far too long and we will change the law to give primacy to our sovereign Parliament.' Under Article 8 of the ECHR, people are able to claim their right to a family or private life, which is often weaponised by left-wing lawyers fighting for asylum seekers and foreign criminals to stay in the country. The Government will instead propose a law change to give British courts primacy over ECHR rulings — but the move will require Commons legislation.

Bradley John Murdoch, one of Australia's most notorious killers, dies aged 67 in palliative care in Alice Springs Hospital
One of Australia's most high-profile outback killers, Bradley John Murdoch, has died after terminal throat cancer claimed his life in palliative care overnight at Alice Springs Hospital. Murdoch, who has been described as a malevolent, manipulative killer is most known for the murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio and the assault of his girlfriend Joanne Lees in 2001. The 67-year-old maintained his innocence on Mr Falconio's murder till the day he died, and police to this day have not been able to locate his body. Bradley John Murdoch, has died at the age of 67, from terminal throat cancer. Picture: NCA Mr Falconio, 28, at the time, and Ms Lees, 27, were driving a Kombi campervan along the Stuart Highway near Barrow Creek – about 300km north of Alice Springs – on February 14, 2001, when Murdoch approached the young couple. He waived the pair down by falsely convincing them there were sparks coming from their van. After Mr Falconio stopped the car, he walked to the rear of the van where Murdoch met with him and shot him dead. More to come.

Britain on verge of signing returns deal with Iraq to thwart small boats crisis
BRITAIN is on the verge of signing a returns deal with Iraq to thwart the small boats crisis. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is understood to be in the final stages of negotiations to help break up people smuggling gangs. 1 Iraqi Kurds have been one of the biggest obstacles to tackling the problem which has seen numbers continuously ramp up since 2018. The proposed deal comes after Sir Keir Starmer struck a ' one in, one out ' deal with France last week to help reduce numbers. But more than 22,000 migrants have already made the perilous journey this year. The deal will help return the number of migrants making the C hannel crossings and failed asylum seekers back to Baghdad. It had been hoped that the deal could have been signed off this month but an Iraqi delegation has delayed their visit, the Sunday Times said. The agreement, expected to be finalised at the end of the summer, would allow UK authorities to detain and then send migrants back to Iraq more easily. The National Crime Agency has been drafted in to try and stop the bosses of the smuggling gangs from bringing migrants to Britain. Bosses from Britain's so-called FBI are understood to have established a presence with the Kurdish authorities. Boats and engines are also been closely monitored with sniffer dogs from the UK being deployed between Turkey and Bulgaria to find rubber dinghies being used in the crossings. Rob Jones, the NCA boss head of operations, said he was targeting areas where kingpins thought they were 'untouchable'. But Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp told Sky News that it was 'absolutely ludicrous' to think the deal with France would have any impact. He said: "This deal will only see about 6% of illegal immigrants who arrive in the UK getting returned to France, and the idea that therefore 94% can stay here is going to have any effect is absolutely ludicrous.' "Of course, if 94% of illegal immigrants who cross can stay in the UK, that is no deterrent whatsoever.' The Prime Minister will hold talks this week with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as he called illegal migration "a global problem".
