The Albanian killer "stirs up the waters" in Britain: How the court

Even after the meeting between the two heads of government, Prime Minister Edi Rama and his British counterpart Rishi Sunak, Albanians remain at the center of local media and articles in the United Kingdom.

'The Sun' brings the case of an Albanian gangster who has been granted anonymity after seeking asylum in the UK to protect his safety.

A judge even banned The Sun from identifying the man, guilty of horrific crimes including murder. The gangster arrived by boat in Britain after serving a life sentence for murder and other serious crimes in his home country.

The judge ruled that his identity should be kept secret "for the sake of his safety" - after he claimed he was in danger from rival mobsters.

This has caused clashes in the ranks of Conservative MPs in Britain. MP David Morris has reacted harshly, considering it an insult to the British.

"It is an outrageous decision that shows contempt for British citizens. Why protect the 'safety' of a career criminal, who has been convicted of murder, who has no right to be here?" , Moorris said.

Another Tory MP, Philip Davies, said: "The publication of his identity and his crimes is clearly in the public interest."

Judge Nicholas Aldridge ruled that nothing should be published that could directly or indirectly identify the Albanian, including his list of crimes.

A Home Office spokesman said this "is another shocking example of why we need to stop the ships."

The Sun has launched an appeal against the anonymity decision. The judge rejected the Albanian's request for conditional release.
