Albanian drug dealer, 38, will not be deported 'because his daughter wets the bed'

An Albanian man named Shpresim Koka, who was previously imprisoned for drug-related offenses, has avoided deportation from the UK due to claims that his daughter suffers from bedwetting. During his trial, Koka stated that his daughter required 'therapeutic intervention' and that her condition worsened while he was incarcerated. He had been convicted in 2001 for involvement in a money laundering drug gang and served a 21-month sentence. After being released, he was re-arrested for further drug dealings and spent three years in prison. Following an appeal, he was granted permission to stay in the UK. A tribunal ruled that deporting him would be too harsh on his daughter, though the Home Office is expected to challenge this decision in a new hearing.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the case as a controversial legal decision where a criminal's personal circumstances (his child's health) influenced a deportation ruling.
