A gang of four people who were caught running bogus colleges and immigration service firms were jailed for 25 years. The bogus colleges scam was reported to have earned the criminal gang millions of pounds, the UK Border Agency (UKBA) reported.
The members of the bogus college scam were all arrested after a thorough investigation by both the UKBA’s Immigration Crime Team and the Met Police. The four-man criminal gang – 2 Chinese nationals and 2 Bangladeshi nationals – responded differently to the charges. Three of the men pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 7 years in prison. The last man pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty following his trial at Croydon Crown Court. He was sentenced to only 4 years in prison.
