Smuggling video rapper jailed over drugs farm

AN illegal immigrant exposed by the Mail for posting videos on how to sneak into the UK has been jailed for working on a cannabis farm.

Albanian Dijonis Biba, 20, was part of a gang producing the drug in an operation run from a row of four suburban homes in Coventry.

More than 160 cannabis plants were found growing at the property Biba was working in – with a total street value for all the drugs thought to be about £300,000.

The aspiring rapper was arrested in January just days after the Mail revealed how he had posted videos online telling viewers how to enter the UK illegally.

His guides included tips on fake IDs and airports where these false documents would not be detected.

In the videos, Biba openly describes how he came to Britain illegally using a fake Romanian passport and would be removed if discovered.

In one video, still on YouTube, he used a map to show the route he claimed a friend took to get to England using a fake Italian ID and by travelling via a small Spanish airport. He says in the video: ‘You should be smiling like an Italian guy. In this airport your ID will show as real despite it being faked.’

Biba also regularly posts images of himself online besides flashy cars. Biba was jailed for 15 months at Warwick Crown Court after pleading guilty to his involvement in cannabis production due to being in ‘debt bondage’ to a criminal gang. He is set to be deported afterwards.

YouTube insisted Biba’s videos did not violate its policies as it did not offer services or detailed information to aid border crossing.
