A former Virginia Beach police officer pleaded guilty Monday to a federal conspiracy charge, admitting that he played a central role in a marriage-fraud case and then lied to his fellow officers and the FBI about it. Andrey Savelyev, a native of Russia, resigned from the force in August just before he was indicted in U.S. District Court. He became a Beach police officer in 1999 and most recently had been a detective in the 3rd Precinct property crimes unit. His arrest stems from an ongoing investigation into marriage fraud, mainly between Navy sailors and Eastern European women, and a Belarus-based network that appeared to be running an elaborate visa fraud operation for illegal workers.

My brother had a “wife” from Hungary for about 5 years I think. I never met her, he never lived with her. They are divorced now and he married an actual American lady. Isn’t that weird?
