Hong Kong cracked the largest fake wedding gang and arrested a total of 164 people

[Global Times special reporter Yang Weimin in Hong Kong] The Hong Kong Immigration Department successfully disintegrated a fake wedding criminal group that has always been involved in the case.

According to Hong Kong's "Sing Tao Daily" reported on the 14th, Rong Jiawei, the assistant chief entry director of the Immigration Department, said on the 13th that the Immigration Department was very concerned about illegal activities of non -Hong Kong residents who faked marriage with Hong Kong residents to deceive Hong Kong residence status. Some agencies have spread information on newspapers, real -time communication software, or dating procedures, claiming that they can earn huge compensation to seduce young people who want to make fast money to participate in fake marriage. After a long period of investigation and snakes (bait) search, they eventually locked a criminal group and launched an arrest earlier to successfully disintegrate this fake wedding gang.

A total of 164 people were arrested, of which 126 were Hong Kong and 38 were residents of the Mainland. Sixty % of them were arrested in the age of 19 to 35, including nurses and college students. The Entry Department seized documents such as documents and hand -calls related to fake marriage. The survey shows that the group was active in 2014 to 2018 and has arranged more than 150 fake marriage, and the involved in the case exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Ten mainlanders have obtained a one -way certificate. As for the criminal method, the gang generally contacted young people with mobile phone procedures, claiming to use 30,000 to 200,000 Hong Kong dollars as compensation. The process is absolutely safe. No, if mainland residents have successfully got a one -way certificate through fake marriage, they can also get 20,000 to 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. In order to control the participants, the group leader will take them to go through the "marriage" procedures and require the two parties to remember the other party's personal information, such as family background and work, so that the staff of the entry department can cope with it smoothly. In the process, mainland residents have to pay 80,000 to HK $ 100,000 to criminal groups. However, when the "marriage" and the collection of mainlanders, members of the group lost contact. Hong Kong youths participating in fake marriage often received only hundreds to thousands of Hong Kong dollars. After the fake marriage, the participants and the fake spouse lost contact and it was difficult to go through the divorce procedures, which caused the participants and the real partner marriage plan to be hindered or even shelved.

The Immigration Department also stated that the case of fake marriage is two or more people who have committed a crime for common interests, and there will be no victims to indicate testimony and increase the difficulty of searching for evidence. They must use professional interrogation skills through assault. According to the Toutiao Daily, a 45 -year -old male brain was ruled by five skewer scamming and one conspiracy to be charged with service. The two were sentenced to 33 months in prison on the 13th. Another 32 suspects had been sentenced to 9 to 26 months.
