Cafe Lounge in Leytonstone has had its alcohol licence revoked after immigration enforcement uncovered four illegal workers. Halit Matraxhi, the licence holder, claimed ignorance of the situation, stating he did not manage daily operations. The Home Office and council advocated for the revocation, citing ongoing compliance issues despite previous court rulings. Matraxhi's barrister argued that his lack of involvement indicated his distance from managerial misconduct. However, the council remained concerned over persistent violations, leading to the decision to revoke the cafe's licence, reflecting a strict stance on illegal employment.
Despite Halit Matraxhi's claims of ignorance regarding the illegal workers at Cafe Lounge, the council found sufficient grounds to revoke the alcohol licence based on continued non-compliance.
The venue's alcohol licence was revoked after illegal immigrants were discovered working at Cafe Lounge, highlighting the council's prioritization of legal compliance in local businesses.
