Erald Mema

An Albanian crime boss who flooded Britain with cocaine could be released years earlier under a transfer deal to ease the prison overcrowding crisis.

Erald Mema, 39, who was jailed for 25 years for his role in the "huge" smuggling operation, will serve less than half of his sentence after being transferred to an Albanian prison, where he will have access to a room for the wife for visits, reports "The Telegraph". 

He is one of Albania's 40 most dangerous criminals convicted in the United Kingdom and has been selected to serve the rest of his sentence in his home country. This is according to an agreement in which Great Britain is paying Albania more than 4 million pounds to return them to their country of birth. 

Mema was convicted at Oxford Crown Court in 2018 of smuggling millions of pounds worth of cocaine into the UK as the boss of an organized crime ring.

He will be transferred to a high-security prison in Albania under a deal designed to tackle prison overcrowding by allowing up to 200 of Albania's worst criminals, including murderers, rapists and drug lords, to complete their sentences. their place./CNA
