A FOREIGN drug mule who was booted out of Britain is back here after time in jail — and posing for naked snaps on an adult website.
Albanian Maksim Progni fled to the UK after he was arrested in Germany trying to smuggle a kilogram of cocaine.

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.”
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.”
‘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.
