Delamere puzzled by decision not to deport Czech criminal

From Morning Report, 8:11 am on 2 November 2018

An immigration consultant who represented Karel Sroubek says he's puzzled by Minister Iain Lees-Galloway's decision not to deport him back to the Czech Republic. Sroubek was jailed two years ago, for more than five years, for importing the drug MDMA. Mr Lees-Galloway has asked officials to investigate the case again and says he expects them to report back within three weeks. Tuariki Delamere was the Immigration Minister in the late 1990s, and is now an immigration consultant, who's acted for Sroubek.
