Operation Swale

Part of a major Immigration scam which helped at least 120 people come to, and stay in, the UK illegally. Bogus companies were set up to supply wage slips and ‘incomes' to potential immigrants in order to facilitate their entry in to the country. The UK Border Agency was repeatedly defrauded with the defendants making approximately £250,000 from the scam, an offence so serious that one of the defendants received a near- maximum 8 years imprisonment for his role.

We negotiated a basis of plea to minimise our client's involvement resulting in just a 9 months sentence of imprisonment
