2025 Illegal Migration Crime Audit

In the very first illegal migration crime audit, the Centre for Migration Control has compiled just 50 case studies of illegal migrant crime that have been reported in 2025. This will be updated. Plea

The Centre for Migration Control will be producing new analysis three times a week right here on Migration Central - revealing the stories and data that politicians are failing to provide. If you wish to stay up-to-date with the damage that mass migration is causing our country, then subscribe below:

We are currently seeing an almost-daily release of news stories that reveal the true scale of the migrant crime crisis gripping Britain.

We know from MoJ data that, last year, a quarter of sexual assault and rape convictions were foreign nationals.

In London, foreign nationals accounted for over 40% of charges for sexual assault, despite accounting for just 25% of the population.

The Casey Report into the rape gangs found that ‘asylum seekers’ were involved in the sexual exploitation of young British girls.

The five nationalities most likely to cross the English channel on small boats saw a 110% increase in sexual offence convictions between 2021 and 2024.

This piece sets out just some of the crimes committed by illegal migrants (often called “asylum seekers” by those with a political agenda) that have been reported in 2025. (Note: these are based on the date of the reporting, not the date of the offence)

This is a problem that is afflicting every corner of our country, from Moray to St Ives, from Cardiff to East Anglia, and yet there has thus far been little recognition from politicians that we are facing a national security emergency.

The list does not include the broader problems involved with our border, assimilation, and asylum policies. As such, the heinous attacks on the Manchester synagogue - carried out by a refugee -, the Southport murders - carried out by the child of an asylum seeker -, or the countless crimes committed by those who arrived legally, are not included.

50 case studies which show how the political class have failed the public:

Elgin, Moray:

Afghan migrant, Rapualla Ahmadze told a vulnerable teenager, struggling with her mental health, that he was now her boyfriend. He then dragged the 17-year-old towards a play park before raping her. He will be sentenced this month.

(Reported on 30/10/25, The Times)

Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire:

Kuwaiti migrant, Zayed Alanzi was jailed for just 12 months following a sexual assault in the early hours of 28th April, 2025/

Alanzi demanded the suicidal mother come back with him to the migrant hotel that he was staying at. When she refused he grabbed her by the cheeks, squeezed her face, kissed her on the mouth and forced his tongue inside

(Reported on 21/7/25, Daily Express)

Brighton, East Sussex:

The Iranian, Abdulla Ahmadi, and the Egyptians, Karin al-Danasurt and Ibrahim Alshafe were arrested and each charged with two counts of rape that took place on a Brighton beach.

The rape ‘allegedly’ took place in the early morning of Sunday 5th October, 2025 by the lower esplanade of Brighton beach. All three migrants required an interpreter when appearing in court.

(Reported on 16/10/25, Telegraph)

Charing Cross, London:

Egyptian, Moustafa Elbohy is a failed asylum seeker who ‘allegedly’ raped a woman at Charing Cross railway station as she went home from a night out.

He did not speak a word of English and used a translation app to tell the woman “I want to f**k you”. He the grabbed the woman and raped her twice before she escaped by climbing over a wall.

Elbohy’s defence lawyer shamelessly claimed that he should be given bail because “he suffers from claustrophobia which will naturally be a problem within the prison environment. He gets extremely anxious.”

(Reported on 31/10/25, Metro)

Lambeth, London:

Kamran Khan, from Pakistan, ‘allegedly’ raped and sexually assaulted an eight-year-old girl twice between September 2024 and July 2025.

He also forced the primary school pupil to watch sexual activity with him on multiple occasions. Appearing in court for the first time, he spoke through an urdu interpreter. His trial is scheduled for January next year.

(Reported on 5/8/25, The Sun)

Hyde Park, London:

In September, Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, from Egypt, was jailed for eight years following a rape in Hyde Park.

In November 2024, the illegal migrant approached a woman who was walking home from a night out and then proceeded to rape her in a secluded spot.

He will be subjected to a deportation order but, due to his claims that he was tortured in Egypt, he will undoubtedly fight this order and thus make his removal difficult to achieve.

(Reported on 16/9/25, The BBC)

Crewe, Cheshire:

Taha Derwish, a Libyan staying in a migrant hotel on Nantwich road, grabbed at a school girl as she walked past the Royal Hotel. He has rightly been arrested for sexual assault. He should not have been in the country. The Home Office rejected his asylum claim but, due to the weakness of the asylum system, he was still in the country whilst he appealed this decision.

(Reported on 25/9/25, Crewe Nub)

Didsbury, Greater Manchester:

Tadi Alemeyeha, who only speaks Amharic (spoken in Ethiopia) required an interpreter as he appeared in court in August.

He is ‘accused’ of sexually assaulting a woman.

(Reported on 11/9/25, Manchester Evening News)

Derby, Derbyshire:

The Somalian, Haybe Cabdiraxmaan Nur, who arrived in Britain on a small boat, “calmly” walked into a bank and stabbed the father Gurvinder Johal through the heart. He has been jailed for life.

It was revealed that Nur had accumulated a litany of convictions in other European countries. That these had not been identified is indicative of how dangerously inept our border controls are at identifying security threats.

(Reported on 29/10/25, BBC)

Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire:

Sheraz Malik required the use of a Pashto (spoken in Pakistan and Afghanistan) interpreter as he appeared in court facing three charges of rape and the possession of cannabis. The ‘alleged’ attack took place in Sutton Lawn on 29th June.

His trial will begin on 12th January 2026.

(Reported on 20/8/25, NottinghamshireLive)

Walsall, West Midlands:

In October 2024, Deng Chol Majek, from Sudan, followed the hotel worker Rhiannon Whyte to the Bescot Stadium station where he savagely stabbed her 23 times with a screwdriver. He was then seen dancing and drinking after the attack.

Whyte died three days later.

We do not know the actual age of Majek, an illegal migrant, and thus the judge requires an age assessment be conducted before he is sentenced.

(Reported on 24/10/25, BBC)

Epping, Essex:

In July, Hadush Kebatu, from Ethiopia, sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and a woman whilst staying in the Bell Hotel. In September he was jailed for just twelve months.

He accidentally escaped police custody in late October and a two-day manhunt ensued. The Home Office then paid this sexual predator £500 so that he would agree to this deportation back to Ethiopia.

Following the high-profile nature of this case, Sky News disgracefully platformed the criminal and gave him an opportunity to tell his side of the story.

(Reported on 23/9/25, BBC)

Horley, Surrey:

Qais Al-Aswad is an illegal migrant from Syria who sexually assaulted three different women in just three weeks over May and June this year. These assaults included grabbing bottoms and pubic areas whilst riding a bicycle (why did he have access to a bicycle?)

He was given a suspended prison sentence and a pitifully lenient community order of just 200 hours unpaid work. His defence was that he was unfamiliar with the laws of Britain.

(Reported on 22/10/25, BBC)

Cardiff, Glamorgan:

The Syrian, Fawaz Alsamaou has been jailed for over three years following a terrifying sexual assault in Cardiff city centre. A woman walking home from a night out was strangled and sexually assaulted by Alsamaou under a railway bridge.

He has been told that he is likely to be deported. But this is contingent on whether appeals are lodged by the Syrian.

(Reported on 31/10/25, BBC)

Newport, Monmouthshire:

The Islamic extremist Hakan Barac, from Turkey, was sentenced to three years in prison for supporting Islamic State, distributing terrorist materials, and glorifying Osama Bin Laden.

(Reported on 7/4/25, BBC)

Hillingdon, London:

The Afghan illegal migrant, Safi Dawood is “accused” of murdering Wayne Broadhurst as he walked his dog. Despite breaking into Britain in 2020, the authorities gave Dawood leave to remain in the country.

In late October, Dawood ‘allegedly’ stabbed his landlord and a 14-year-old before fatally stabbing Broadhurst.

(Reported on 28/10/25, BBC)

Bournemouth, Dorset:

In May the Libyan, Ibrahim Zouari and the Tunisian, Houssine Nouira chased hotel workers with knives because they did not like the food that they were being served.

Zouari received a litany of other convictions after this incident, including assault on an emergency worker, and has now been jailed. His lawyer, seemingly from Hill Twine Solicitors, sought to downplay his actions by arguing that he suffered hardship in Libya because his family were pro-Gadaffi. He apparently wishes to work in construction if he is given refugee status in Britain

(Reported on 27/10/25, Telegraph)

Bournemouth, Dorset:

On 6th July, the Syrian illegal migrant Mohammed Abdullah ‘allegedly’ raped a 19-year-old girl in a public toilet at Bournemouth beach. He required an Arabic interpreter when entering a not guilty plea at court. He has been bailed and his trial will begin in early May.

The government had given this man leave to remain in the country after accepting his asylum claim.

(Reported on 14/8/25, The Sun)

Bournemouth, Dorset:

Shkar Jamal, from Iraq, received a community order of just 100 hours unpaid worker after threatening a man with a snooker cue.

The starting point for such an offence is a six-month custodial sentence. But witless magistrates told Jamal that “we are not unsympathetic to your position. Whilst you made an error of judgement, since then you have conducted yourself with dignity and that helps to rehabilitate yourself in the eyes of the law.”

They finished their remarks by saying to the illegal migrant: “We wish you good fortune for the future.”

(Reported on 26/10/25, The Sun)

Southampton, Hampshire:

The Sri Lankan illegal migrant, Sukirthan Thangrasha has been charged with immigration violations, indecent exposure, and public order offences that took place over the summer. The police were spotted near a school conducting enquiries in relation to this case.

A trial date has been set for March next year.

(Reported on 19/9/25, Southampton Times)

Portsmouth, Hampshire:

A migrant staying at the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea, Portsmouth, was jailed for 10 years after a violent sex attack on a woman in her 40s. Rabie Knissi, 33, pushed the woman against a parked car and tried to rape her.

He was convicted of attempted rape, assault by penetration, and actual bodily harm.

(Reported on 26/7/25, Talk)

Maidstone, Kent:

In July, the Afghan Shafiullah Rasooli was found guilty of sexually assaulting two women whilst he delivered food to their door.

He was using his friend’s registration details to work in the country illegally, thus demonstrating how food delivery companies, coupled with councils and charities bending over backwards to give hotel migrants bicycles, has led to a huge security problem.

He attempted to claim that “hugging to the side” was a common way of saying goodbye in Afghanistan..

(Reported on 29/10/25, LBC)

Oxford, Oxfordshire:

Iranian, Amin Abedi Mofrad, raped and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl, on her way back from an under-18s disco, near Westgate Shopping Centre in Oxford on 14 February 2024. He has previously been convicted of eleven offences in Germany.

His lawyers argued that his immigration status should not be reported.

The Sun won a significant victory in allowing the details of this case to be reported. Without this battle, the public would not have been aware that this individual was someone seeking asylum in Britain.

(Reported on 12/10/25, The Sun)

Swindon, Wiltshire:

The illegal migrant Abdul Hamed, was convicted in December last year after climbing through the window of a woman’s home in the middle of the night and raping her twice. The woman’s children were also in the house.

(Reported on 11/12/24, BBC)

Swindon, Wiltshire:

In March an illegal migrant from Sudan, Abdulmawal Ibrahim Adam, attempted to kidnap a 17-year-old girl as she walked home from work. He will be sentenced in December.

He had tried to talk to the girl, and then began following her once she ignored him. He then sprinted after her, grabbed her and attempted to drag her across a road. He had already served seven months in prison for entering the UK illegally. If he had been deported, rather than simply released, then this crime would not have taken place.

(Reported on 15/10/25, Express)

Nuneaton, Warwickshire:

A 12-year-old girl was ‘allegedly’ raped in Nuneaton by Ahmad Mulakhi (who faces two rape charges) and Mohammad Kabir (who is charged with kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting the rape of a girl aged under 13).

Inexplicably, Warwickshire police refused to provide the immigration status of these two men. However, council leader George Finch confirmed that the two men were illegal migrants seeking asylum.

(Reported on 4/8/25, BBC)

Handsworth, Birmingham:

Mohammed Wahid Mohammed is a Syrian illegal migrant who raped a 12-year-old girl after giving her crisps and a vape. Before his attack, he told the girl it was “not safe on the streets” and took her into a shop where it seems that he was working illegally.

He then led her upstairs an raped her. He was given 12 years in prison and told by the judge that he “could be deported”. Many will be concerned as to why there is any equivocation about this fact.

(Reported on 24/7/25, ITV)

Swansea, West Glamorgan:

Iraqi Kurd, Shalw Jamel was caught selling cannabis on the streets of Swansea whilst also working illegally in a car wash. A clear example of how criminal networks are a driving voice behind illegal migration and that many aren’t simply coming here to ‘claim asylum’.

He will serve up to half of a 12 month prison sentence before being released.

(Reported on 10/4/25, WalesOnline)

Hounslow, London:

Illegal migrant Ahmed Ebid, from Egypt, organised the crossings of 3,781 migrants from Libya to Italy whilst living in Hounslow. He has previously been convicted of drug offences in Europe, and was clearly masterminding a sprawling network of illegal migration. Yet, he was allowed to claim asylum in Britain.

(Reported on 22/5/25, SWLondoner)

Southwark, London:

The Afghan Fayaz Khan, who has an AK-47 face tattoo, filmed himself threatening to “pop,pop,pop” the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.

He was sentenced to five years in prison, but has since posted videos of himself within prison being aggressive and confrontational.

(Reported on 14/10/25, Sky News)

Epping, Essex:

The illegal migrant Mohammed Sharwarq will return to Syria after serving a prison sentence for assaulting four people. He was also meant to stand trial for sexual assault but prosecutors dropped that charge. Two of the individuals assaulted were members of staff.

He spoke in court through an interpreter, as a pattern of aggressive behaviour was set out.

(Reported on 30/9/25, Sky News)

Westminster, London:

Three Iranian men broke into Britain, claimed asylum and then ‘allegedly’ undertook work on behalf of the Iranian intelligence service.

Mostafa Sepahvand, Farhad Javadi Manesh, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, are being held in a high-security prison having entered not guilty pleas.

(Reported on 17/5/25, Sky News)

Cardiff, Glamorgan:

The Iraqis Karwan Muhammad and Ahmad Arshad were arrested in August 2024, having been found in possession of 7kg of cannabis, worth £75,000. One of the two was also involved in the supply of class A drugs.

Defence lawyers put forward the mitigation that, because they were both failed asylum seekers, they had no recourse to public funds and were not allowed to work. Why did the authorities not remove them rather than allow them to engage in criminality?

(Reported on 15/2/25, WalesOnline)

Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire:

The Iranian illegal migrant, Ahmadreza Khalafi was granted the right to remain in the country by the authorities.

In May he was arrested for rape and six other sexual offences against an 18-year-old woman. He will face trial in December.

(Reported on 28/7/25, Bishop’s Stortford Independent)

York, North Yorkshire:

Eid Anwar Fathi Najjar, from Egypt, dragged a lone woman out of a nightclub before raping and sexually assaulting her in an alley. He required an Arabic interpreter during court proceedings.

He will be sentenced on Thursday 4th December.

(31/10/25, The Press)

Falkirk, Stirlingshire:

In June, the Afghan illegal migrant, Sadeq Nikzad was jailed for 9 years after raping a 15-year-old girl. He followed the girl through Falkirk town centre repeatedly asking for her phone number and uttering sexual remarks. He then led her to a courtyard where he carried out the attack.

He was convicted in March, but refused to accept that he had done anything wrong, displaying an alien and medieval cultural attitude towards women and girls.

(Reported on 18/6/25, Sky News)

Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham:

Al-Najjar Amir Abdulrahim, from Gaza, ‘allegedly’ had sexual communications with a 14-year-old girl for nearly two months. He then arranged to meet the child to have sexual intercourse.

It is unclear how he arrived in Britain, but he was receiving free English language lessons at a local college - at the taxpayers’ expense of course.

(Reported on 26/9/25, The Sun)

Middlesborough, Teeside:

Earlier this year Moussa Ibrahim, from Sudan, exposed his penis in front of children and urinated at a playpark. He had previously appeared in court for theft offences and, by the time of this offence had already accumulated a series of convictions. It is unclear why he had been allowed to remain in the country.

(Reported on 15/8/25, TeesideLive)

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Iraqi asylum seeker faces deportation after throwing bricks in Hanley riots (16/9/25, StokeOnTrentLive)

This list is far from exhaustive, and in many instances the authorities are simply concealing the immigration status of those being charged with certain crimes.

More dangerously, mainstream media outlets have resorted to lies, misquotes, and basic statistical mistakes in order to try and conceal this problem.

Reporting by Sky News’ “data journalist” Daniel Dunford is the most egregious example of this, having undertaken a cackhanded attempt to “fact check” claims made by politicians regarding migrant crime, and the overrepresentation in certain nationalities in official statistics.

However, Dunford was found to have lied to the ONS to elicit a comment which suited his agenda. His “fact check” relied on quotes provided by the Met Police that the force later admitted had been “incorrect” due to “genuine human error”. He also revealed his inability to comprehend basic migration statistics by confusing the data category “foreign national” with “foreign born”. He also made up fake quotes that he attributed to Oxford academics.

The result was a piece that subsequently had to issue three corrections and make at least six amendments to the original text.
