Fake Marriages - The real story
Following the immigration officials exposing fake marriages and the gangs exploiting people seeking right to remain in the UK.
File on 4 Investigates how Immigration Enforcement officers are tackling sham marriages. Claire Jones follows 91福利社 Office officials as they apprehend people entering into, and organising fake marriages in order to circumvent the UK鈥檚 immigration laws. She discovers details of criminal gangs charging people up to 拢30,000 for a partner and 'marriage pack', a set of photos and documents designed to create a convincing back story of the fake relationship. After File on 4 Investigates asked the 91福利社 Office why more statistics are not available on suspected fake marriages, they have now committed to regularly publishing these numbers 'in due course'.
