Progni posing in the nude on a £7.50-a-month OnlyFans page
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.
I've been exploited by Albanian gangs in the past. Whatever my past, I deserve to live a normal life like everyone else
Progni
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.'

Farage pledges target to halve crime if Reform enters government
Reform UK will aim to halve crime in five years if the party gets into government, Nigel Farage has announced, as he estimated a £17.4 billion bill to achieve it. Proposals to recruit more police officers and create new prison places contribute to the estimated £3.48 billion annual bill for the party's plans on crime and justice. Speaking at a press conference in Westminster on Monday, Mr Farage said: 'Reform will be the toughest party on law and order and on crime that this country has ever seen. 'We will aim to cut crime by half in the first five years of Reform government. We will take back control of our streets. We will take back control of our courts, of our prisons. 'If you're a criminal, I am putting you on notice today that from 2029 or whenever that may be, either you obey the law or you will face very serious justice,' he added. Documents handed out at Monday's press conference show that the party estimate a £17.4 billion cost over the course of a five year parliament for their plans, with a £3.48 billion annual cost. Plans to recruit 30,000 more police officers take up the biggest chunk of this bill, estimated at £10.5 billion overall. Mr Farage has pledged 12,400 new prison places on MoD land at a cost of £5 billion, and five new 'Nightingale Prisons' to be built with the assistance of the Army. He also wants to see more than 10,000 more prison places freed up by deporting foreign criminals to their country of origin through bilateral agreements, and Mr Farage claimed he was 'in conversation with Edi Rama', the Albanian prime minister over prisoners. I accept Prime Minister @EdiRamaal 's invitation to visit Albania as his guest of honour. We will discuss the return of Albanian prisoners. — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) June 30, 2025 The two leaders have been involved in a social media spat over the matter. In a video on social media posted last month, Mr Farage said he would visit Albania and 'report back' after an invitation from Mr Rama. In response, Mr Rama said: 'I genuinely hope your upcoming visit to Albania inspires you to fight for ideas, rather than against people — in the spirit of the great liberal tradition your country has long stood for.' The party also wants prison places overseas in places such as El Salvador, a 'dynamic prisons' policy that the party estimates will cost £1.25 billion over the course of a parliament. Mr Farage said that he would be prepared to take back British criminals who are in foreign prisons as part of his plans. He told reporters at the press conference that 'of course we're prepared to take British prisoners from other parts of the world. 'That's fair, right and proper.' Mr Farage pledged that Monday's event was the start of a six-week campaign on law and order, as Parliament is about to begin its summer recess break. Labour chairwoman Ellie Reeves claimed 'Reform is more interested in headline-chasing than serious policy-making in the interests of the British people'. She added: 'Farage's Reform MPs voted against the Labour Government's landmark Crime and Policing Bill which tackles antisocial behaviour, shoplifting, violence against women and girls, knife crime, and child abuse.'

Inside notorious crime boss Steven ‘Bonzo' Daniel's rise to power – and the brutal machete attack that left him for dead
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) May 18th, 2017 started off as just another day for gangland hood Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel. But little did he know he was about to be left brutally scarred and fighting for his life. Every move he made was being watched, every turn tracked by ruthless enemies hungry for power. 12 Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel pictured after the brutal assassination bid 12 CCTV shows the moment Bonzo was chased in his taxi during a deadly hunt from rivals From the stands of Ibrox watching Rangers play Aberdeen, Bonzo left the game, dropping off taxi tycoon pal Stevie 'The Fat Controller' Malcolm on the way home. But the quiet Glasgow streets soon transformed into a deadly hunting ground. An Audi S3 and a VW Golf materialized in his rearview mirror – the rival Lyons gang, relentless in their pursuit. They knew his every move, thanks to tracking devices hidden on his vehicle. A high-speed chase erupted, tearing through the city, red lights ignored as two worlds collided. From Milton to the M8 at Port Dundas, the 100 miles per hour pursuit escalated until Bonzo crashed on a ramp, trapped. What followed was a brutal, targeted assault. Cleavers, machetes, a claw hammer – wielded with savage intent. Bonzo's face became a canvas of carnage: deep lacerations, a nose left hanging, damage so severe police initially mistook it for a gunshot wound. With fractured bones and a dislocated skull – Bonzo was left for dead, his attackers vanishing into the night. This is the story of Glasgow's 'Scarface' - Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel. HEIR TO THE THRONE By the time of the brutal execution attempt, Bonzo had risen to the head of the notorious Glasgow crime clan the Daniels - amassing an intricate web of allies as he sought to take the criminal empire from strength to strength. He took over the reins following the death of his uncle, feared crime boss Jamie Daniel a year earlier. Jamie - who at one stage had amassed an empire worth £10million - began his criminal career dealing in used cars and scrap metal in Glasgow's Possilpark. He and his brothers formed a major heroin syndicate - which went on to wage a deadly drugs war in Glasgow with bitter enemies the Lyons family - led by Godfather Eddie Lyons Senior. 12 Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel rose to the top of his family's notorious crime clan 12 Jamie Daniel had amassed a wide-spanning criminal empire before his death 12 Eddie Lyons Senior, the godfather crime boss of the rival Lyons clan Credit: The Sun But his world came crashing down when, in 2010, was diagnosed with cancer, before eventually passing away in July 2016. The 58-year-old's death sparked fears the clan would plummet into civil war as rivals battled to seize control. But Bonzo - son of crime queen Annette Daniel, Jamie's sister - took charge, calling the shots as he ran their multi million pound drug dealing empire and legitimate businesses - - making him the obvious target for the rival Lyons clan hoping to take over the Glasgow drugs trade. Bonzo was born into crime and has lived that life but some underworld sources claim it's not a natural fit for him. 12 Bonzo's mum, crime queen Annette Daniel 12 Francis 'Fraggle' Green was viewed by some as a more obvious head of the Daniel clan His cousin Francis 'Fraggle' Green - son of Jamie - is viewed by some as a more obvious head of the family. One source said: "Because of Bonzo's nickname and what happened to his face he gets most of the attention. "But many think Fraggle is the more natural crime boss. "Bonzo would rather spend time with his partner and kids and go to Ibrox to watch his beloved Rangers than be mired in feuds and constantly looking over his shoulder. "But given who his relatives are there was never any realistic prospect of a normal life. "He obviously has connections to some very dangerous people so he'll always get respect through that. "But he's not a wild gangster type who flaunts violence and wealth. That's not his style." BONZO BUTCHERED His rise to the top of the crime family wasn't short of drama. He was lucky not to be jailed after being cleared following a major probe into the Daniel crime clan which saw his cousin Zander Sutherland - his uncle Jamie's son - jailed for drug dealing in June 2015. And his brother Robert, a convicted drug dealer, was ambushed by a gang of gunmen during a drive-by shooting in Stepps, just outside Glasgow in 2017. Within weeks, the Lyons had turned their attention to Bonzo… knowing the execution of the kingpin could unravel the rival empire - a prime opportunity to take control of the drugs trade. 12 Bonzo was chased in his taxi at speed of up to 100mph 12 Bonzo was left maimed and narrowly escaped alive After being left maimed by the gang and narrowly escaping alive, Bonzo was taken to the nearby Royal Infirmary — where a team led by Dr Mark Ansell saved his life with 12 hours of surgery. The world-renowned surgeon would later tell how Bonzo's face was so mangled he had to insert a tube in his throat to help him breathe. Dr Ansell said: 'His nose was hanging off on the left-hand side, near to his left ear. 'He had extensive injuries, all located in the mid-face area.' Driver Mohammad Khan, who stopped to help the stricken ex-taxi boss, said: 'His face was in a mess, a total mess. His face was hanging off, you could see his nose bone. 'He couldn't speak. I thought he was going to die.' Bonzo would later undergo around 40 hours of pioneering surgery over the course of two years to save his butchered face. An underworld insider at the time told The Scottish Sun: 'Bonzo is extremely lucky to be alive. 'It's a painstakingly slow process, but his face is now being put back together by one of the best surgeons in the world. 'The scarring to his face has already improved massively but there is still a long way still to go.' Among the brutal facial reconstruction ops Bonzo has endured included inserting metal plates and screws to eye sockets and re-attaching his nose. A titanium mesh was put into his skull, Bonzo's upper and lower jaw were reconnected, deep cuts across his cheeks were repaired and his damaged ears were operated on. In the period following the attack, Bonzo was guarded round the clock amid fears of another attempt on his life. A cop patrol car was also stationed outside his home in the Bishopbriggs area of the city. LYONS IN THE DOCK And detectives soon had their first breakthrough when a car used in the assassination attempt was later found in Forge Street, in the Germiston area of Glasgow. A second car was later found alight in Balmuildy Road, Bishopbriggs. Officers swooped on properties across the city and six members of the Lyons gang were arrested. 12 A burnt out car was found - before cops swooped on properties linked to the Lyons clan 12 Robert Pickett, Andrew Gallacher, Brian Ferguson, Andrew Sinclair, John Hardie and Peter Bain were all jailed Brian Ferguson, Andrew Gallacher, Robert Pickett, Andrew Sinclair, John Hardie, and Peter Bain, were all put in the dock at the high court in Glasgow, accused of trying to kill members of the Daniel clan. The trial lasted 14 weeks and cost the taxpayer £6m. The six men were all convicted of conspiracy to murder . Brian Ferguson , Andrew Gallacher, and John Hardie were all jailed for 20 years. Robert Pickett was locked up for 16 years while Peter Bain was sentenced to 15 years - and turned to give the thumbs up to someone in the gallery as he was handed his sentence - while Andrew Sinclair was jailed for 13 years and three months. Lord Mulholland told them: 'Steven Daniel gave evidence and said that he was not aware of a feud between the Lyons and Daniel families. 'I did not believe a word and, more importantly, neither did the jury.' 12 Ross 'Miami' McGill is now waging war Bonzo's brazen testimony underscored the belief the feud would be settled on the streets - rather than in the courtroom - highlighting the deep-seeded animosity between the two clans and the desire for revenge. And while the members of Lyons gang were put away for a long time, Bonzo fought back to lead the Daniel Crime clan - which is once again locked in an explosive battle with their rivals - led by Steven Lyons, and Dubai based gangster Ross 'Miami' Mcgill. McGill - a former chief of the Union Bears - has waged a several-month long gang war spilling out across central Scotland over a half a million pound cocaine deal - which has seen shootings, machete attacks, and homes torched and firebombed over the battle for control of drug trade.
