This prosecution was brought by the UKBA. The case involved a multi handed conspiracy to facilitate the immigration of asylum seekers into the UK. The prosecution followed a 9-month investigation of into a suspected plot to help 15 people enter the UK via Heathrow Airport. In each case, the illegal immigrants arrived in the UK without passports and claimed asylum as Afghans. The travellers would fly from India to Bangkok. They would then be provided with counterfeit passports, visas and boarding cards for onward flights to Heathrow.
