Home Office translators are running a lucrative scam to spring illegal immigrants from detention, an undercover Mail investigation has discovered.
Interpreters charge £3,000 to act as witnesses to lie to a judge and secure bail for Albanians caught coming into the UK with fake passports or on small boats and lorries.
The bogus guarantors vouch for the immigrants who they promise the court will stay at their home if released.
But in reality they have no connection with the detainees they testify on behalf of and are happy for them to live anywhere – including beyond the control of the authorities – if bailed without a tag.
Last night the Home Office launched an urgent investigating and promised 'prompt and decisive action if necessary.'
The Solicitors' watchdog also started a probe after a lawyer told our undercover reporter he could take the case despite being told the guarantor was being paid and had no known connection to the migrant, explaining he would prepare them for 'what is expected of them in court'.
The woman organising the scam boasted it was '100 per cent' successful.
She explained because she and the guarantor she would arrange both worked as freelance translators for the Home Office they knew 'everything' about how the immigration system worked from the inside.
Bogus guarantors and the detained migrants are given 'scripts' of what to say and shown pictures of each other to dupe judges into believing they have a connection, she said.
The guarantors pay a surety, usually of £1,000, which has also been paid to them in advance by the illegal migrant or their relatives.
When the undercover reporter raised concerns about the judge suspecting the fraud, she scoffed: 'Do you think the government care? Come on, please.'
