flag Nearly 50 foreign criminals were deported from the UK to Romania under a scheme offering incentives for early removal.

flag Nearly 50 foreign criminals were deported from the UK to Romania under the government’s Facilitated Return Scheme, which offers up to £2,000 to incentivize early removal before completing prison sentences. flag Payments vary based on timing and vulnerability, aiming to support resettlement and save taxpayers up to £54,000 per person annually. flag The scheme, part of broader reforms allowing deportation after 30% of a sentence, excludes serious offenders like those convicted of murder or terrorism. flag Deportation flights, often costly and heavily secured, have removed over 5,000 foreign national offenders in the past year, with the government defending the program as a deterrent to illegal migration and a way to reduce the £600 million annual cost of housing foreign prisoners.
