The agreement with Great Britain: Albania will receive almost 5 million euros
Albanian prisoners in Britain

Two days ago, the Albanian government approved in principle the implementing agreement of the agreement between our country and Great Britain and Northern Ireland, for the transfer of convicted persons.

And, according to British media reports, Sunak's government will pay Albania at least 5 million euros a year to take 200 of its most dangerous prisoners.

The five million euros will go to pay for prison renovations, extra security, workshops, rehabilitation equipment and guard training.

Thus, Britain will pay 36.5 euros per day per prisoner for the entire duration of their sentence and according to the estimates of the British Ministry of Justice, in total their removal from the country will cost 5 million euros.

The details of the agreement are made public by "The Telegraph", which, citing official documents, reports that a joint supervisory group will be created to prevent the mistreatment of prisoners.

The Albanian government will draw up an annual report on the prisoners and their conditions, while the UK government will retain the right to carry out physical checks.

Either country may terminate the agreement by notifying the other party 2 months in advance.
Among the 200 transferred are 17 life prisoners, including 36-year-old Koçi Selamaj, who killed a 28-year-old teacher, Sabina Nessa.  

He was jailed for at least 36 years for beating and strangling her to death in a park in south-east London.
He has so far served just two years, meaning the UK will pay Albania £400,000 to jail him for the remaining 34 years of his sentence.

The country's Ministry of Justice said the deal would save taxpayers money because it costs almost £40,000 a year to house a prisoner in England and Wales. This would equate to around £1.9m for Selamaj.

The government has demanded guarantees that the human rights of Albanian prisoners will be protected, while, according to what The Telegraph reports, the Albanian side has demanded that they be paid for each group, before accepting the next group of criminals.

Under a separate deal, Albanian convicts will also be released up to a year early and given £1,500 resettlement grants if they agree to be deported and never return to the UK.

Britain hopes that the departure of the Albanian convicts will alleviate the crisis of prison overcrowding, which has forced the Ministry of Justice to keep offenders in detention cells and allow the early release of hundreds of others.
