Two in court over illegal immigration attempt
29.06.11
Two people were arrested at Birmingham Airport over an immigration scam, the Birmingham Mail reports. The man and woman arrived on a flight from Brussels and were apprehended by the UK Border Agency just after they presented their passports.
British national Anton Jgonndoci, 29, of Plymouth, has been charged with facilitation while Albanian national Pranvera Jgonndoci, also 29, was charged with two identity offences and seeking leave to remain in the UK by deception. Both appeared at Solihull Magistrates’ Court on Monday where they were remanded into custody until July 12.
A spokesman for the UK Border Agency told the newspaper: ‘We are cracking down on immigration crime, and removing people and gangs who abuse the system through sham marriages, illegal working, people smuggling and document fraud.’
