A drug dealer was arrested when he was caught with a quantity of cocaine worth more than 40 thousand pounds in the center of the city of Brighton in England.
Albert Nedelcu from Romania was stopped by police after they spotted the young man swapping a load of cocaine for a bag of around £25,000 in Church Road, Hove.
He was part of an Albanian gang, where 4 other people were convicted on Monday. One of them had been deported twice from Great Britain.
A total of £42,000 worth of cocaine was seized, as well as £30,000 in cash, after police raided two flats on Palmeira Avenue Mansions in Brighton.
Nedelcu had traded cocaine with Albanian Andi Dema, 35, who had previously been deported twice from Britain in 2021 and 2016, but according to his lawyers he was put under "pressure from people in Albania to return". to pay his debts.
Dema said he owed about 80,000 pounds to some people in Albania, while in court he said he got involved in drug dealing three years ago because of the debts he accumulated.
"He was told that the only way he could raise the amount earned (to pay off his debt) was by dealing drugs. He is worried about his safety, his wife and his nine-year-old son" , said his lawyer.
Another member of the gang, Ridison Nega, 25, was also seen exchanging cocaine for money, as he was reportedly the one who noticed that the police had spotted the gang members, so he threw his identification in the bin.
Another young Albanian ended up in handcuffs, after he was caught during one of the checks carried out by police officers in one of the apartments in Palmeira Avenue Mansions.
It is learned that the lawyer of the 20-year-old Xhenaro Shehu told the court that the young man had arrived in Britain to help his family in Albania.
Dema, who had two previous convictions for drugs, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison, Nega and Nedelcu were both sentenced to four and a half years, while Shehu was sentenced to two years and four months in prison.
