Albanian migrants are walking out of hotels to work on cannabis farms within three days of arriving in the UK across the Channel, an investigation has revealed.
The young men describe being released from detention into hotels where they are recruited by Albanian crime gangs who have cornered the UK market in cannabis grown illegally in farms in empty houses and industrial buildings across England and Wales.
Their confessions, screened on Albanian TV this weekend, paint a picture of young men working to clear debts of £5,000 from paying Kurdish people smugglers for journeys of up to 40 hours in a dinghy to cross the Channel.
