Fake Marriage Ringleader Caught At His Own Fake Marriage

17th April 2014

A ringleader in charge of organising sham weddings across Britain was jailed today after being caught at his own fake marriage.

Harpal Singh, 51, made £5,000 each time he set up bogus marriages between East European woman and Asian students whose visas were running out.

Singh, from Forest Gate, east London, set up weddings with Czech women living in Britain - because their EU citizenship would allow their new husbands to live in the UK.


But a court heard his criminal network was uncovered by police when he was stopped from going through with his own fake marriage.

And he was discovered carrying a bag full of other people's identity cards and 'marriage packs'.

Prosecutor Andrew Davies said: 'Singh would arrange marriages for Pakistani, Indian and Nepalese men who were either about to have visas run out or had overstayed.

'He would arrange for them to marry Czech women who had EU residency and therefore could confer this to any husbands.

Wrong.

Cardiff Crown Court heard Indian-born Singh entered Britain in 2006 on a six month visa with his wife and three children.

What's wrong chief?  

So he doesn't belong in jail then?


There was a big bust on another chap like this one, who had assistance from his wives I think, sure his name was also Singh?...Vijay or something?
