U mori 120 mijë paund shqiptarëve, katër vite burg britanikut

A British yachtsman caught smuggling 17 Albanians into an exclusive marina is one of the prime suspects in the murder of a young mother. Stephen Jackson, 50, faces extradition over the disappearance of expat Lisa Brown from her Spanish home nearly eight months ago. Police want to question him over his links to her boyfriend Simon Corner, who was tracked down to Denmark earlier this year. A yacht Jackson owns has been impounded in the Canary Islands amid fears it was used to dispose of Miss Brown’s body. Full details of the Spanish investigation can be reported for the first time after Jackson admitted people smuggling. During a short hearing at Lewes Crown Court last week, he pleaded guilty to sailing a boat carrying illegal immigrants into Chichester Marina in West Sussex in May. It is believed officers hunting him over the murder were surprised to discover 17 Albanians packed inside the catamaran. They had already tried and failed to board the boat near the Isle of Wight but were hampered by poor weather and instead tracked it by helicopter. His lawyer, Gregory Fishwick, said he admitted facilitating illegal entry of the Albanians but was ‘acting under partial duress’ at the time. He did not give further details but said there was also a warrant out for his arrest in relation to a murder in Spain.
