Albanian Criminals

9 June 2011 - London is a dangerous place! The BBC reported that more than 100 dangerous Albanian criminals could be in hiding in the UK, some of them in London it is thought, according to a secret dossier sent to the Scotland Yard by police in the country's capital, Tirana. The head of Interpol there said most of the fugitives are wanted for murder. One of those in hiding was Marash Gjoka, who claimed asylum in the UK pretending to be a refugee from war-torn Kosovo. BBC London has learned that the 48-year-old Albanian national lived in Catford, south east London, with his wife and two teenage sons for more than 10 years, under the assumed name of Mark Toma. To his neighbours he was a quiet, family man who helped them with odd jobs around the house.What they did not know is that Gjoka, one of Albania's most wanted criminals, is accused of shooting dead Tonin Doshi, 33-year-old farmer in May 1999. After an apparent dispute over a piece of land, Gjoka is said to have shot him in the town of Lezhe, northern Albania.
