A Nottingham judge believes an illegal immigrant will return to the UK to grow and sell cannabis after he was caught with 3kg of it in a car. Judge Stuart Rafferty KC sentenced Endrit Sopaj to 18 months in prison, stating he 'will come back again' as the defendant had previously been deported after serving jail time for cannabis cultivation. Sopaj was found deleting videos of a large cannabis warehouse on his phone when stopped by police.
A frustrated Nottingham judge believes an illegal immigrant will return to the UK to grow and sell cannabis again after he was caught with 3kg of it in the boot of a car on the M1. Judge Stuart Rafferty KC told Nottingham Crown Court that the defendant - Endrit Sopaj - “will come back again” as he put him behind bars for 18 months.
“I feel that frustration as it demonstrates the difficulty the courts have to expect the court to wave some magic wand and get drug dealing back under control while someone is living in Spain or elsewhere with thousands of pounds falling into their hands on a daily basis.” Alice Ibbotson, prosecuting said police acting on intelligence stopped a car the defendant was driving on the M1 southbound between junction 28, at South Normanton and junction 27, near Hucknall, on November 27, last year. She said it was searched and in the boot was a 3kg vacuum-sealed package of cannabis.
