Six Czechs arrested over suspected immigration, bigamy ring: report

The UK border agency, the government body controlling migration into Britain, arrested six Czechs on suspicion of running a ring offering arranged marriages to gain legal entry into the country, local media reported on Thursday. The Liverpool Echo reported on Thursday that raids by officials had been carried out in the city as well as in nearby Bolton in the north-west of England. It said three Czech men and women are suspected of assisting illegal immigration and bigamy. The last charge follows from the fact that they are suspected of entering into new marriages in spite of already being married.
