An Albanian migrant who entered the UK illegally has turned to crack cocaine dealing, igniting fierce debate about border control.Elvis Zoto, 22, who fled a luxury asylum hotel, boasted on social media about his easy entry into Britain. He even shared his Home Office registration form, highlighting his arrival in Dover in 2022.

 

Zoto’s case has drawn significant attention after a High Court decision finally approved his deportation, almost three years post-arrival. Campaigners argue this case underscores the urgent need for immigration reform.

Zoto's journey began with a flight from Albania to Belgium, then a train to France, where he paid a smuggler for passage on a small boat to Britain. On June 29, 2022, Border Force detained him in Dover. Despite immediately claiming asylum, he absconded from the Crowne Plaza hotel in Basingstoke after just two days.

 

 

An unsent Home Office letter declared his asylum claim “implicitly withdrawn” due to his disappearance. Officials had his phone number but made no other contact attempts.

 

Meanwhile, Zoto quickly engaged with a drug gang, leading to his arrest by Essex Police on November 1, 2023. He was convicted of dealing crack cocaine and sentenced to two years and nine months in prison by April.

 

Despite his sentence, Zoto challenged deportation, arguing his asylum claim was still pending. However, his appeal was dismissed in the High Court, which agreed that he forfeited his asylum rights by fleeing custody.

 

Videos posted by Zoto on TikTok showed him flaunting large sums of cash on London streets and advising others on abusing the system. He claimed it was easy to evade detention and urged fellow migrants to follow suit.

Zoto’s actions have sparked intense scrutiny of the UK’s handling of illegal immigration. In 2022, over 12,600 Albanians crossed illegally, prompting warnings from the National Crime Agency about drug gangs exploiting these routes.

 

Under current circumstances, more than 27,000 migrants have arrived in the UK by small boats in 2025, setting new records. This increase raises concerns over the government's capacity to disrupt illegal trafficking and enforce border security.

Efforts to combat these challenges face critiques, especially as migrants continually succeed in these dangerous crossings. The Labour party’s pledge to dismantle smuggling operations faces immense pressure as incidents like Zoto’s reveal systemic weaknesses.

 

Urgent reforms in immigration protocols are crucial. Zoto’s case exemplifies not just the individual defiance of UK laws but also highlights broader issues within the immigration system.

 

The need for change is evident, with Zoto’s story serving as a catalyst for discussions on strengthening the UK's borders and refining asylum procedures.
