Convicted rogue trader Kweku Adoboli was deported from the UK on November 14, according to a statement from his supporters.

The former UBS employee, who has lived in the UK since he was 12, was jailed after rogue trades he made cost the Swiss bank $2.3bn in 2011. He had been fighting deportation to his native Ghana since his release on probation in 2015, having served half of a seven-year prison sentence for fraud.
