A Romanian illegal immigrant deported six times in the past seven years for theft and fraud offenses was sentenced to two years in prison upon his return to the United Kingdom.
Nicu Marin, a 44-year-old with a lengthy criminal history, was ultimately incarcerated as a result of new laws that granted judges more sentencing discretion.
The man who was caught living in a terraced house in Leeds was sentenced to 27 months in prison.
Once he has fulfilled half of his prison sentence, it is predicted that he will be deported for the seventh time.
Following trials at Leeds Crown Court, Nicu Marin, a 44-year-old man with a lengthy criminal history, was ultimately incarcerated.
At his appearance in Leeds Crown Court, Judge Simon Batiste informed Marin that the United Kingdom already had enough “homegrown criminals” and warned him not to return.
He stated, “Britain has no need for criminals like yourself to enter the country.” Unfortunately, we have native-born criminals.
“Therefore, a deterrent term must be issued, particularly for someone like you who has repeatedly and flagrantly violated a deportation order.
“You must comprehend that you are not permitted in the United Kingdom and must not return to this country.” If you continue, the phrases will grow increasingly lengthy.
The prosecutor, Bashir Ahmed, previously informed the court that Marin has 20 convictions for 41 offenses, the majority of which involve theft and fraud.
Marin was initially deported in October 2015, but was back in the United Kingdom in 2016 when his name was detected for shoplifting.
In November 2016, the Romanian was deported for a second time, but two weeks later he returned to the nation via Holyhead.
He was removed from the United Kingdom twice more in March 2017 and April 2018.
In November of 2019, he was discovered living in Chapel Hill and was handed a four-month suspended jail sentence.
In September of last year, Marin applied to marry a woman in the United Kingdom before being detained at his Beeston residence in November.
He stated that he had re-entered the country through Dover in August of last year and found employment.
Mr. Ahmed continued, “Since 2015, he has made a deliberate attempt to enter the United Kingdom and has been successful, arriving via many ports in Ireland and Northern Ireland.”
Marin accepted violating his deportation order via video link from HMP Doncaster, where he was being imprisoned on remand.
Andrew Petterson, Marin’s attorney, stated in mitigation, ‘He acknowledges it must be a prison sentence.
He has requested that I apologize to the judge on his behalf.
His primary goal, he tells me, is to support his five children in Romania, who dwell with his 75-year-old mother.
However, Judge Batiste was skeptical of the assertion, citing Marin’s marriage proposal.
He stated, “It is unclear whether this was a legal attempt to marry or a sham marriage.”
“Your immigration record is shocking. You were aware that you were ineligible to enter the United Kingdom.
Since that order was issued, you have entered the United Kingdom six times.
“Coming to the United Kingdom with the full awareness that you are not permitted is plainly the result of meticulous planning. It must have required trickery to get access.
