He was extradited and jailed but less than two years later he returned to Britain — where he flaunts his trips to nightclubs and restaurants online, as well as posing in the nude on a £7.50-a-month OnlyFans page.
Progni, 36, has refused to reveal how he got here, sparking fears he may have arrived illegally.
He is thought to be living in East London and working as a personal trainer promoting himself with pics in his underpants and just a towel on Twitter and Instagram.
Progni is also trying to launch a career as an adult content creator with nude shots on OnlyFans.
He has also posted pics from the VIP section of South London nightclub Ministry of Sound and a posh Canary Wharf restaurant where wine costs as much as £530 a bottle.
And he boasted of spending £50 on lunch at department store Harrods.
Progni was pulled over by German cops in Wachtendonk, near the Netherlands border, in April 2016.
Documents obtained by The Sun reveal police found cocaine in his backpack weighing 1,048g.
An official report stated: 'In one compartment, a red plastic bag containing the suspected 'sale' was found, split into two packages with a black adhesive strip labelled 'max'.
'Both packages were opened, revealing a white powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine.'
Killer Albanian terrorist FREE to roam UK streets in human rights fiasco because he'd be hunted by mobsters if he's deported
Progni is believed to have fled to the UK soon afterwards.
In 2021, his lawyers told a court in Kleve, western Germany: 'He wishes to conclude the proceedings and return to a life where he is not wanted under an arrest warrant.
'He is aware that this requires him to face the criminal proceedings in Germany.'
Progni was extradited by Britain in September 2022 and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in February 2023 for importing a 'non-negligible' amount of narcotics.
He was sent back to Albania in February 2024, having served just 11 months. Under German laws he was eligible to be returned home having served 40 per cent of his jail term on remand and in prison.
He resurfaced in London in May last year.
Asked about his OnlyFans page, Progni told The Sun: 'I've been exploited by Albanian gangs in the past. Whatever my past, I deserve to live a normal life like everyone else.
'I do not work, because I am not allowed to work right now.'
He declined to reveal how he had re-entered Britain and insisted he earned no money from OnlyFans.
The Home Office was passed links to Progni's accounts but said it does not comment on individual cases.
A spokeswoman said: 'Foreign nationals who commit crime should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free to roam Britain's streets, including removing them from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.'
'NO REASON' ASYLUM WIN
AN IRAQI asylum seeker who told authorities he did not have a reason to be in the UK and asked for time to make one up won his fight to stay.
The unnamed man arrived in a lorry in 2016, but his asylum claim was refused in 2019, as were two appeals.
He then won the third, in Manchester, after medics agreed marks on his arm may have come from IS torture, as he had claimed.
The Home Office argued he was 'not credible' after he told officials he had no reason to be here, but the panel said he could not safely go home.

Yvette Cooper says migrants on small boats where child has died should be prosecuted
The Home Secretary has called for the prosecution of all individuals arriving in the UK on a small boat if a child has died. Labour's Yvette Cooper told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was "totally appalling" that children were being "crushed to death on these overcrowded boats, and yet the boat still continues to the UK". Ms Cooper further insisted: "Everybody who is arriving on a boat where a child's life has been lost, frankly, should be facing prosecution, either in the UK or in France." This comes as the government is already introducing a new offence of "endangering life at sea" within the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, currently making its way through Parliament. Ms Cooper has previously said this would allow the authorities to act against people "involved in behaviour that puts others at risk of serious injury or death, such as physical aggression, intimidation, or rejecting rescue attempts". But on Friday, she appeared to go further by suggesting even getting on an overcrowded boat could result in prosecution. She said: "If you've got a boat where we've seen all of those people all climb on board that boat, they are putting everybody else's lives at risk." Crossings have increased in the past year, reaching 20,600 by July 2, a rise of 52% compared with the same period in 2024. Some 15 children died trying to cross the Channel last year, prompting charity Project Play to warn that conditions were becoming "more dangerous" for young people. Advocacy co-ordinator Kate O'Neill, based in northern France, blamed policies aimed at preventing crossings for the increasing risk. She told the PA news agency: "Ultimately the children we're meeting every day are not safe. "They're exposed to a level of violence, whether it's they are directly victims of it or the witness. "We're ultimately at all times putting out fires... the underlying issue is these policies of border securitisation... that are creating more and more barriers to child safety and child protection." She said there was hope when the Labour Government took office a year ago that there would be some improvement, adding: "This is not at all what we've seen. "They continued to make conditions more difficult and more dangerous." She said: "The smash-the-gangs narrative is not effective and it's harmful because ultimately the only way to put the gangs out of business is to cut the need for them." Meanwhile, Ms O'Neill said French police were already intervening in crossing attempts in shallow waters despite the changes to the rules to allow this having not yet come into force. She said: "This is not a new tactic... it's something that has been happening for a long time in Calais and surrounding areas. "My feeling is that this is increasing based on the number of testimonies we're receiving from children and their families recently. "It's really dangerous because the children often are in the middle of the boats." On Friday, the Home Secretary welcomed reports that French police were intervening in French waters to prevent crossings, and said she had been "working very closely with the French interior minister" to ensure the rules were changed "as swiftly a possible". Ms Cooper also declined to confirm reports the UK was looking at a "one in, one out" policy that would see people who had crossed the Channel returned to Europe in exchange for asylum seekers with connections to Britain. Asked about the policy, she would only tell Sky News that ministers were "looking at a range of different issues" and "different ways of doing returns".

Council pays domestic abuse victim £1,600 after leaving him homeless for weeks
Waltham Forest Council has agreed to pay £1,600 to a domestic abuse victim after a watchdog found he had been left homeless for five weeks. The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman said the man first asked the council for help in January, saying he could no longer live with relatives who were abusing him, and for a second time in February. The council only acted in mid-March after legal action was threatened, offering hotel accommodation but no further action when the man said his abuser knew where he was staying. Ms Amerdeep Somal, of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, said: 'Waltham Forest Council let this man down when he approached it for help. 'This should not have happened, and I am pleased the council has acknowledged the gravity of its errors and accepted the recommendations I have made. I hope other survivors of domestic abuse will be treated better in future.' Councillor Ahsan Khan apologised, telling the BBC that the council took on board the report's findings, and would "ensure we use these to improve the service we provide for residents in the future". The council has not yet responded to The Independent 's request for comment. During his stay at the hotel, the council also failed to confirm a booking which again left him homeless for three nights, the report said. The man said he was assaulted during these three days. The man also lost his possessions because the council refused to store his belongings without a payment of £500 up front, which he could not afford, the investigation found. The investigation criticised the council for the three-month delay in accepting that it had a duty to support him with housing, as well as finding that the council failed to consider the man's vulnerability and the suitability of the hotel accommodation. The council agreed to apologise and pay the £1,600 to the man, the report said. It has also agreed to review its housing policies and improve how it handles cases involving vulnerable people.
