In 2010, 1.5 per cent of foreign nationals imprisoned in England and Wales were Albanian. Albanians made up 10.6 per cent by the end of 2024 – more than any other nationality.
Around 1 in 36 Albanian men living in England and Wales are in prison.
Almost 1,100 Albanians, including murderers, the heads of the fearsome Balkan mafia that controls the UK drug market, and rapists, were behind bars at the end of 2024. Only three were women.
According to the most up-to-date government statistics available, there are 39,091 Albanian-born men living in the United Kingdom.
Albania tops the crime ranking, by nationality, ahead of countries from Guinea, Algeria, Vietnam, Sudan, Palestine and Eritrea, writes the Daily Mail.
The ranking was based on the number of prisoners from 65 different countries, compared to their migrant population.
MailOnline found that the percentage of foreign prisoners of Albanian origin has increased 7-fold over the past 15 years.
According to British media, ruthless Albanian gangs have managed to dominate the British drug trade, negotiating directly with Colombian cartels and undermining criminal rivals to flood our streets with cheap cocaine.
In 2010, 1.5 per cent of foreign nationals imprisoned in England and Wales were Albanian. Albanians made up 10.6 per cent by the end of 2024 – more than any other nationality.
The increase in the number of Albanians is partly due to a large number crossing the Channel, with a total of 12,685 arriving in Britain by small boats in 2022.
However, the rate has dropped since a prisoner transfer agreement was signed with the Albanian government in 2022.
In addition to controlling the drug trade, the Albanian gangsters terrorizing the UK have also been convicted of murder, sex crimes, money laundering and people smuggling.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has warned for years about the 'significant threat' posed by Albanian gangs, notorious for their professionalism and discipline, as well as their brutal tactics to keep the competition at bay.
Three members of an Albanian gang have been jailed for beating to death a man who had attempted to steal cannabis from a drug factory based in a house in Cardiff.
Tomasz Waga, 23, from Dagenham, east London, who had recently become a father, was murdered in 2021, his body dumped like a 'garbage bag'.
Meanwhile, a vicious Albanian gangster nicknamed Tony Montana, after Al Pacino's character in the film "Scarface," will begin his prison sentence in the United Kingdom next year for the murder of a man in London in 1999.
Serial killer Mane Driza, now 47, must first complete a sentence in Italy for conspiring to murder two men and attempting to murder a third in June 2002, in Sicily, where he had fled after killing an Albanian in north London.
He had previously killed two men in his homeland.
Albanians have also been caught smuggling people into Britain in small boats, paying up to £5,000 for a return ticket across the Channel, after luring them with work on illegal cannabis 'farms'. Some have even shamelessly advertised on social media.
Although it reveals the scale of serious crimes committed by non-UK nationals, information on criminal offences committed by migrants for which they are not imprisoned is not published.
MailOnline compiled the table using data from the MoJ, which showed there were 10,355 foreign nationals in prisons in England and Wales as of December 31, 2024. / Adapted Pamphlet/
