An Albanian national who was deported from the United Kingdom twice within 3 years has been jailed after returning to Britain illegally.
Emirjon Gjuta was deported from the United Kingdom in August 2020, after being convicted of drug-related offenses.
The 34-year-old was subsequently arrested in March 2022 for being in the United Kingdom illegally.
He was deported a year later after being convicted of violating a deportation order and possessing another person's identity document.
Gjuta admitted that he had re-entered the UK in November 2024, which was in breach of the 2020 deportation order.
He was sentenced to 14 months in prison at Leeds Crown Court on Friday, November 28.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), Gjuta claimed that he did not fully understand the content of the deportation order because he did not have an interpreter in court in 2020 and 2022.
But documents signed by Gjuta confirmed that he did not object to the 2020 deportation order and never sought to appeal against it.
It is not clear how Gjuta arrived in the UK in November 2024. He was arrested in Leeds in September 2025.
Nick Smith, from the CPS, said: "Gjuta had no right to stay or work in the UK and has been deported twice already. It is clear that he does not care about the rules and has committed crimes when he has been in the UK before."
"The CPS will continue to work with the Home Office and police forces to prosecute those who do not have the right to remain in the country," Smith said.
Gjuta was jailed for four years and six months in September 2019 after admitting conspiracy to manufacture cannabis and two counts of possessing or controlling identity documents with intent.
In October 2019, he was served with a deportation order letter and signed a waiver not to contest his deportation.
He was deported in August 2020, the CPS said.
In March 2022, Gjuta was jailed for eight months after being arrested for violating a deportation order and criminal mischief of forged documents.
He was deported again in March 2023.
