Ex-UBS trader Kweku Adoboli being deported

Kweku Adoboli, the former UBS trader convicted of fraud, will be deported to Ghana from the UK on Wednesday, campaigners have said.

His MP, Hannah Bardell, said he would be flown out of London's Heathrow airport in the early evening after being detained in Scotland on Monday night.

She said Adoboli, aged 38 and who has lived in the UK for 26 years, was in a distressed state.

The UK Home Office declined to comment on the reports.
