Asylum hotel firm putting up illegal migrants in taxpayer-funded luxury rooms took in £700MILLION in just one year
Stay Belvedere Hotels, which houses illegal migrants in taxpayer-funded accommodations, reported a turnover of £704.6 million and a pre-tax profit of £62.6 million in a year. The firm operates 51 sites and is under contract with the Home Office until 2026, despite recent contract termination.
