FOOTAGE shows inside a deportation flight for foreign criminals being flown out of the UK.
The rare video sees a group of serious offenders, including killers, thieves and sexual abusers, being taken back to Romania part way through their prison terms.
Some are even seen being handed bank cards pre-loaded with £2,000.
Up to half a dozen staff escort each offender up the stairs into the aircraft in the video, and some are put into restraints, on a runway at Heathrow Airport.
The footage, shot by ITV, is the first time journalists have been allowed on such a flight for foreign national offenders (FNOs).
A total of 47 such criminals, including six women, were sent home, in an operation costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The FNOs in the video originally came to the UK legally, but forfeited the right to remain when committing such serious crimes.
As part of the Facilitated Return Scheme, such deportees are given £2,000 to persuade them to volunteer to leave the country.
They are told to withdraw the cash once they arrive back in Romania and use it to get resettled.
