Epping hotel illegal migrant and sex offender Hadush Kebatu was handed £500 of taxpayer cash as he was deported, after threatening to disrupt the removal process.
The reports come after the Home Office confirmed this morning that he had finally been deported back to Ethopia, following his farcicle mistaken release from prison last week.
