The British media is no longer 'separated' from the Albanians. According to them, there is already a new route between Ireland and Great Britain for smuggling immigrants. And this route costs up to £2,500 less than the cost of crossing the Channel.
Albanians are working with Irish criminal gangs to bring migrants to Dublin, often with fake EU documents, before providing them with an Irish taxi driver to sneak into Britain by ferry.
The new route costs migrants around £2,500 per person with another £300 to £400 for fake IDs bought in Albania. It costs an average of £5,000 to £5,500 to illegally cross the Channel in a small boat.
A gang organizer told an undercover reporter that trips were organized "every day".
“You must go to Dublin. We have the price of £2500 from Dublin to England. It is 100 percent safe. You have to get a fake European ID so you can get to Dublin easily,” he said.
Migrants are advised to "make a lot of noise" and seek asylum. "They will release you in 12 hours. Then the taxi arrives and you can immediately go to England", said the organizer of the gang.
An NCA spokesman said: “Organised Immigration Crime is a chronic threat whose scale and complexity is constantly evolving. The NCA works to target and disrupt the greatest harm of organized crime groups at every stage of their activity – in source countries, in transit countries, near the UK border and those operating within the UK itself. We also work with partners , including immigration enforcement, police and overseas law enforcement, to support their investigations.”
Home Office and NCA officials will meet senior Albanian police on Tuesday to discuss plans to speed up the deportation of Albanians who enter the UK illegally.
The Ministry of Defense (MOD) revealed that 915 migrants arrived in the UK on Saturday, bringing the total to more than 25,000, double the rate last year. Home Office officials say that between 50 and 60 percent of the arrivals are Albanians.
