North West Group Statement Re: Immigration Scam

17/06/2010

Adrian Dugdale, reviewing lawyer from the Complex Casework Unit at Greater Manchester Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said:

"Today's conviction of these seven individuals sends out the right message to would-be criminals who take advantage of people's desperation to illegally remain within the UK.

"By taking these organised criminals out of action, we have halted an abuse of the immigration rules and made it clear that the integrity of the UK's borders will be defended.

"This successful prosecution has been an excellent example of first-rate partnership working between GMP, the CPS and the UK Border Agency."
