Fatmir Bleta

An Albanian wanted for murder in our country has won the right to stay in Great Britain.

This is only thanks to the European Convention on Human Rights.

Fatmir Bleta , 64, left Albania two months after allegedly shooting a man in the head with a Kalashnikov, for which he was sentenced in absentia to 13 years in prison.

He went to Great Britain with his family and sought asylum claiming to be from Kosovo. For this fraud, he was sentenced to 33 months in prison in 2018.

Bleta, who has 4 children, fought extradition from Albania to serve his sentence in our country claiming that he would not be entitled to a retrial and was not notified in advance of the proceedings. Thus, the Bee managed to avoid his extradition.]

Expulsion 'extremely harsh' on the family

The case comes after The Telegraph revealed earlier this week that an Albanian criminal who secretly returned to Britain after being deported won the right to stay because his deportation would be "too harsh" for his family and to violate Article 8 of the ECHR.

Robert Jenrick, the former immigration minister said: Once again the ECtHR has been used by activist judges to prioritize the rights of a criminal over the safety of the British public. 

It's a shame. We can only get thousands of foreign criminals out of our country if we leave. 

British media revealed that two of Bleta's children have been convicted and imprisoned for drug trafficking.

Son Dorian, 37, is serving an 18-year prison sentence for cocaine trafficking, while daughter Sara, 28, a former actress, was jailed for four years for supplying class A and B drugs.

Bleta went to the UK in 1998 after the murder he did. He was working as a guard at a reservoir when he and his colleague were approached by a person they knew.

The colleague witnessed Bleta, who at that moment had a Kalashnikov in his hand. The colleague told him not to play with the gun, but Bleta pulled the trigger and shot him in the head, killing him on the spot.

After fleeing to Britain, he gained British citizenship in 2017 but was convicted of making a false statement to obtain residency. That is why he was sentenced to 33 months in prison.

As for the crime in Albania, the judges rejected an extradition request from Albania on the grounds that he was never arrested and that there was no material to prove that he knew the date and place of his trial.

However, the legal team managed to overturn the decision and the case ended up in the European Court of Human Rights.

There, the request for the extradition of Bleta was rejected. The latter, contacted by " The Telegraph " at his home in west London, admitted that he had arrived in Great Britain in 1998, but denied having been convicted of murder. 

"I'm clean from everything. Even from the court. You're wrong, check it out," he said. 

His daughter said:  The facts are completely wrong. My father was acquitted. He was accused and managed to prove that he was innocent. If you actually look at the documents and documentation I can send you, it is "clean ".

He was not even in Albania when the murder happened. My father is very ill and the only reason he has ever received a deportation order is as a result of the Home Office's inability to do the job properly.

Regarding the case, a Home Office spokesman said: It would be inappropriate to comment on the matter while there are ongoing legal proceedings.
