Albanian Burglar Turns Heads With Lavish Lifestyle
Imagine scrolling through TikTok and stumbling on a video of a convicted burglar, who’s already been deported twice, cruising around London’s leafy neighborhoods in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth £300,000. That’s exactly what Dorian Puka—just 28 and with a well-documented history of breaking the law—has been doing. He doesn’t even hide it. The footage features him parked on double yellow lines, phone in hand, soaking up the internet attention, all while his criminal record is no secret to authorities.
But Puka’s displays don’t end with fancy cars. Last New Year’s Eve, he broadcasted his night at a buzzing nightclub, surrounded by shisha smoke and a belly dancer. It’s the kind of excess that’s hard to ignore, especially when you remember he’s in the UK awaiting a decision on his asylum claim.
How a Criminal Dodges Deportation—And What That Says About the System
How is someone like Puka—already deported twice for burglary—still in London? It comes down to how the UK treats asylum seekers. As the rules stand, once someone claims asylum, there are layers of legal protection. This means immigration officials cannot immediately remove a person, even if they have a string of convictions trailing behind them. So, despite official efforts, Puka remains in the country, using these legal loopholes to his advantage.
His case isn’t just a one-off example. The UK has agreements with Albania designed to crack down on illegal migration and to make it easier to send back those with failed asylum bids. Still, critics are quick to point out that these measures don’t always work in practice. Long-winded claim processing, paperwork snags, and the right to appeal can all drag the process out for months—or even years. In the meantime, individuals like Puka can continue living freely, sometimes even flaunting their lifestyles to a frustrated public.
This isn’t just embarrassing for lawmakers; it’s exposing real cracks in how deportation rules are enforced. With social media, people like Puka can turn their cases into something of a spectacle, fueling doubts about the government’s ability to handle repeat offenders. It leaves people wondering just how many others are gaming the system while officials struggle to close the loopholes.
