9 Held over Fake Marriages

[Guest Lottie]

Nine people are being questioned in connection with what the Home Office has described as the "largest sham marriage network in the UK".

Five people were held in dawn raids on addresses in Enfield, north London on Tuesday. A man was also arrested at a nearby business.

Three other people were later arrested, including two at a register office.

The probe centres on EU nationals marrying illegal immigrants who then have the right to live in the UK.

Police believe one group alone have been involved in about 300 "sham marriages".

A Home Office spokesman said: "Investigating officers suspect these people to be involved in the largest sham marriage network in the UK."

Good, hope they deport them.

Grab all, put them on a plane, and then take them straight back to their country of birth no mucking around, and take the EU nationalists involved with them
