Send Adrian Preda back Romanian gangster who was jailed for attempted murder

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

A Romanian gangster is free to walk the streets of Britain because ‘overcrowded’ jails in his homeland might breach his human rights.

Convicted mobster Adrian Preda, 36, was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison in Romania for attempted murder, blackmail and organised crime.

Fellow Tory MP Andrew Bridgen added: ‘This makes a mockery of the EU and our own judicial system. It also sets a very dangerous precedent because any similar characters from Romania will be using this and it will open the door to every criminal who will want to come here if they know they can just walk free. It’s absolutely outrageous.’

Preda is the latest in a string of Romanian criminals exploiting a legal loophole to head to the UK before using human rights laws to prevent themselves
