A migrant drug pusher reportedly avoided deportation from Britannia after arguing that his removal would cause mental health issues for his mother.UK Home Office efforts to remove convicted Portuguese robber and drug pusher Fabio Indiai from the country were stymied after the migrant’s lawyers convinced a judge that being deported would breach his rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the Daily Mail reported.
A judge found that the provision, which guarantees the "right to respect for private and family life", would have been breached by removing Indiai because it would negatively impact the mental health of his mother, to whom Indiai allegedly provides day-to-day support.
The Portuguese migrant was previously imprisoned in 2021 for intent to supply Class-A drugs after being arrested with over £1,000 of cocaine, ketamine, and MDMA.

Commenting on the decision to allow him to remain in the country, Conservative leadership candidate Robert Jenrick said: "You can’t make it up. And you can’t defend it. We must leave the ECHR."
