Citizenship ceremony conman jailed



29 September 2009



一中国籍人渣利用造假文件从申请人那里骗取了大量钱财,现已经被判入狱四年半。

A Chinese national behind a fake document scam which raked in hundreds of thousands of pounds from immigrants seeking to stay in the United Kingdom has been jailed for four-and-half years after a trial at Southwark Crown Court.



此人渣名为李翔,现年29,在LONDON STRATFORD区住。他否认所有被控罪名,包括经营两间假律师楼,签发假英国护照及工作许可,以及安排假公民入籍仪式。在这些假仪式上,那些毫无怀疑的移民申请人会在女王相及联合旗帜下面受到扮演相关政府人员的演员的问候。

Xiang Li, a 29-year-old from Stratford in London, who denied the charges, ran two bogus law firms, issued fake passports and work permits, and even staged a phoney citizenship ceremony where the unsuspecting immigrants were greeted by actors playing the parts of officials and local dignitaries against a backdrop of a picture of the Queen and the Union flag.



调查李人渣的行动,卡塔莉娜行动,开始于KING GEORGE DOCKS的警察逮捕了一个中国籍人士。该人士认为其所持有的护照是一本真实有效的英国护照。

The investigation into Li’s activities, Operation Catalina, began when police officers working at King George Docks in Humberside arrested a Chinese national trying to enter the United Kingdom using what he believed to be a legitimate United Kingdom passport.



移民局在进一步的问询中发现了两间位于伦敦中心LOMBARD街附近可疑的“律师楼",一间是LOMBARD,一间是BOROUGH DE LAW(这间好像中文是博度律师事务所)。这两间律师楼都在中文报刊上有刊登广告。

Further inquiries by the UK Border Agency’s immigration crime team led to two suspicious ‘law firms’ based in and around Lombard Street in central London. Called Lombard and Borough de Law, they advertised their services in the Chinese language press.



在追踪两间假律师行运行过程中,移民犯罪小组发现的收据显示这两间假律师行至少收取过50个人每人两万英镑的手续费。办案人员还发现了2007年精心策划表演的假入籍仪式的证据。这个犯罪团伙还涉及到发行假文件。根据以上的调查结果,李人渣于2008年1月被逮捕。

Following operations on both firms, the immigration crime team unearthed receipts showing that the companies had charged up to 50 individuals an average of £20,000 for their services. Officers also uncovered evidence of the meticulously planned bogus citizenship ceremony, which took place at the Methodist Hall in Westminster in December 2007. The gang were also involved in issuing forged documents. This led to Xiang Li’s arrest in January 2008.



下面大家自己看吧:)

Welcoming the verdict, UK Border Agency regional director Jeremy Oppenheim said:



'Criminal gangs should be warned - we are putting an end to scams like this. Major reforms to the immigration system are making life harder than ever for those seeking to abuse our hospitality. Today’s verdict is the result of the strong partnerships we have forged with the police across the UK to crack down on organised criminals seeking to abuse the immigration system.



‘The sentence handed out shows there is no hiding place for those that break the rules. We will take steps to deport Mr Li at the end of his sentence.’



李翔人渣被判决后,对其26岁的同伙赵TIAN人渣的调查还在继续,其真实姓名应为李文涛(音译)人渣。

With Xiang Li’s conviction, the search continues for his alleged accomplice: 26-year-old Tian Zhao, whose real name is believed to be Wentao Li.



The trial was the culmination of a 20-month investigation by the newly formed North East, Yorkshire and the Humber immigration crime team, which comprises UK Border Agency officers working with detectives from seven police forces in the region to tackle organised immigration crime.



Dave Powell, Detective Chief Inspector for the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber immigration crime team, said:



'This was a highly organised and elaborate national scam, and we are pleased to see this successful conviction today. The combination of skills from UK Border Agency immigration officers and detectives from the police make for a formidable team that can pursue suspects wherever they reside in the UK.



‘We remain committed to tracing others suspected of being part of this organised crime group, to ensure that they cannot take advantage of other vulnerable people who seek to live and work in the UK.’



The trial judge recommended Xiang Li, who had denied the charges, for deportation after serving his sentence.
