- Entering the dark underworld of the sham marriage racket
Filming undercover, and with exclusive access to a busy register office, Ranvir Singh investigates sham marriages. We will be looking at the current challenges and enforcement measures associated with sham marriages, including the impact of recent changes to the law. As well as investigating those involved in facilitating and organising sham marriages, we will discuss efforts being made by government, register offices and other organisations to combat sham marriages as part of a wide-ranging piece examining the current scale of the issue in the UK.
The programme will feature interviews with experts and observational filming at one of the UK’s busiest register office. It will also feature covertly filmed footage of marriage fixers and others involved in facilitating sham weddings; forging fake passports; selling vulnerable women and making offering to make fraudulent applications to the Home Office.
Our evidence shows that, despite the Government’s promised crackdown, it appears to be business as usual with the racketeers making millions at our expense.

When I heard "Supplier", I ALSO immediately thought of Human Trafficking. BEFORE SHE even said it. Just another "Product"; NOTHING more. Disgusting...
One thing I hate about journalism, crime is FILMED and goes unpunished
They've actually been turning over investigative work to homeland security and border patrol and many have been caught and many others deported or imprisoned. It does help to have all the information and evidence gathered for the case.
It's usually a rule that you don't reveal your sources otherwise they'd never get stories. That only works if they knowingly are talking to you not undercover work though.
It’s such an idiotic move to confront those people without informing the police or immigration.. 🤦🏻♀️ stupidity to the core..
Exactly
Beyond idiotic. Gave them time to cover themselves and their story. The reporter totally exposed herself and what they were doing. What idiots.
Agee 100 💯
THEY DONT HAVE TO THE POLICE AND IMMIGRATION KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM AND THEY HAVE EVIDENCE
Unless they were paid actors. Ha!
“ the system is soft. Very soft”
Sums it up 😉
Because of this issue, genuine couples are being scrutinized hard for no reason and sometimes rejected as well.
True but what's a better way
Turkish are one of them?
True man but what's the better way
So true.
I think that's more of a failure of the system than the couple themselves.
For those found guilty of setting these sham marriages is need to be stripped of there citizenship if they are from another country and banned from ever returning .
Ya shows her right to speak huh haha, @@kerryshauntedhouse3414
👍💯
What if the trafficker is a citizen since birth? What then? Immigrants aren’t the only ones that are involved you know.
@@huetuber1204 citizenship is a privilege not a right....and privileges can be taken away..and you send them back with their parents...
junkman19571 you’re not understanding me. How are you going to send an Englishman back to where they came from which is England?
What's the point of this whole operation- when they are not even arrested ! Wth
Spies
I can't stand illegal immigrants. I love the word DEPORT!!!!!!!!
@@vlloyd46 Imagine being this much of a sociopath...there's something actually wrong with you
staged, paid actors
@@vlloyd46 Me too! I say send them all back!
90 day fiancé but these guys are upfront and paying for it rather than lying to someone.....
Every case is different every case is its own, there are many different circumstances and possibilities
If caught faking a marriage they should be locked in a prison cell together for 20 years to know what marriage is.
lol
Dwl🤣🤣🤣
🤣 🤣 🤣
lol I can`t breathe because I can`t stop laughing
Thats a great way to punish someone
In the UK you would get a prison sentence for refusing to pay for a tv licence ,
Very true. UK has all it's priorities all wrong.
British Overseas
They went through all that trouble to expose these people, with zero effort to bring them to justice, so nothing has changed.
While thousand arriving on dingaaa boat and get all star treatment
Also, I don’t understand how dumb immigration services are when it comes to sham marriages? ask for evidence- pics, photographs, chats, friends, mutual friends, common experiences, memories, parents, siblings, body language. At one point they will break- it’s as simple as that. Build up your team, put in resources, it’ll take more than a 5 min interview, but it’s absolutely not difficult to catch these horrible people.
They already do that
They might be understaffed with huge case loads like other govt departments.
Pakistani's, Bangladeshi's and Indian's in the UK have been involved in sham marriages and have used 'Car Sales' as fronts for all sorts of criminal activities for the past 40-years. And during these 40-years, hardly anything has ever been done about it! The same applies to Planning Permission (for building extensions & development) whether private or commercial... they did whatever they wanted and almost always got away with it.
BTW, the investigative team should have provided all their information to the Police BEFORE they broadcast this program, not afterwards... as 'Malik' will have moved all the poor trafficked girls to another location!!!
Increasingly so in various parts of America. Even w/o sham marriages; try to file complaint w/ Health Dept because groups of illegals are being housed in sheds & garages, sans sanitary facilities; urinating & defecating visible from the street as you drive by; or selling food w/o licenses or sanitary conditions... competing w/ legitimate licensed, tax paying business & residents.
This maybe old story now its completely destroyed.
In Netherlands if you are involved in such activities you are prisoners for 7 years and your nationality is cancelled.
Only Punjabi has more information about these, they’re expert in doing all these
@@manishjaiswal7421 because your knowledge is restricted upto punjabi's only.I know Turkish Moroccans Tunisians and many more who does such activities.
@@RAMNIKKand many others ...
The couple’s acting is oscar worthy
These criminals have not just contempt for the authorities but “UTTER CONTEMPT”
It’s scary how confident this Chris guy is about all this. No fear and no respect for the law.
The Indian couple are scarrier.
@@RVboyjunior tell me about it!
If they were charged with human trafficking (slavery) and had consequences that bite HARD, perhaps headway could be made. This scam marriage bs is running in the US as well
Did your ancestors respect the land and people while colonising?
@@uday5226their hypocrisy is outrageous! They seem to forget why they have so much privilege, comfort and wealth. They are the beneficiaries of their ancestors inhumane atrocities against others. Their ancestors rampaged the earth like feral beasts raping, stealing and murdering, now they’re crying because the people of those lands followed them home. They are the architects of industrial level enslavement and colonisation.
They disgust me!
I understand now why the US process is so intense.
We have enough illegals over here 30 million plus we have no problem with people coming over here legally and going through proper channels
Thankyou Real Stories for this Documentary on Illegal Immigration Practices through Sham Marriages. Such Documentaries helps in creating Awareness for those who are Naive, who are Unaware of such an Underworld of Illegal Immigration Practices that exists across the Border, which eventually ends up in Human Trafficking, other serious Crimes associated with it.
I will love to see all these people in jail for human trafficking.
Why do they not get the police along when they confront these criminals?
wondertwin I agree.
@ but they know his face anyway. No its to do with poor reporting and the channels need to get viewers over an actual wish to stop the issue
Because the police have rules on how investigations are carried out, in all likelihood they'd be classified as entrapment.
The police won’t do anything unless sufficient evidence can be collected to prove intent to brake the law before calling the police or until the crime is actually committed in some cases
@@hamzaxx6722 I think they got all the evidence . show the police the clips all ready made ??
When I was much younger a coworker befriended me and later said she'd pay me to marry her uncle who was in her homeland. She told me we needed to write back and forth. I'm not into finding trouble so told her I couldn't..she just kept smoozing me until I agreed to write back and forth she had me meet her different relatives...when I saw the photo of the uncle I said no way!!! I put my foot down and said " Absolutely Not!!!". She was so angry at me and immediately dropped our friend ship. I was shocked..I then realized she was only using me.
Were her uncle from

You got to love these lawyers.
They are real comedians.
Lol
True and the ancestors of this whole country were colonisers and looters.
It is simply disgusting; I have trust that these evil people exploiting others shall have to face the force of justice
Perfect timing. I needed something to watch. Thank you
I know right? 😅
vids2002 😂 I know the feeling... worse yet I was going by crazy without electricity for a few hours, just restored after I made coffee on a makeshift wood stove outside! Still outside enjoying my cuppa and something to watch under the crescent moon!👍
=/
Me too, lol 😂😈
Why are we so soft in this country.
The confrontation with the reporters was pathetic. No police involved, no arrests no consequence’s. The criminal couple handled it so very well, Denise good everything and completely nonplussed. Why don’t the police use this undercover sting ? Which seems so easy to do. I can only conclude that the authorities do not feel any urgency to stop this trade or illegal immigration which is treated with the same nonchalants. ? Brenda
So 90 day fiance...
Sort of.
Lol words out of my mouth 😂
KrispyKremeMcDonalds Basically 😡😣
Yup
Haha yup an extended version of that show for sure!!! 😂🤣👍🏼😁💯
In the US, you can bring a spouse into the US only if the sponsoring spouse is able to prove financial responsibility and they must sign an agreement making them liable for the next 10 years for any government benefits paid to the spouse.
Yeah then why is a well off guy married to Filipino, get 800 per month for wife and step daughter from social security, scam
@@roselee4445 because the video is about the UK, not the US.
@@joemama6906 oh, someone mentioned us guys
That's fake news Joe, we know better than to trust anything anyone named Joe says in the US at this time in History,
Really? I would like to know details.as far as I know they are not even allowed to work or study
disappointing end ! all of them should have been prosecuted..
Kudos to all officers risking it all just to get to the bottom. This type of investigation can cost you your life if discovered.
In the case is where it is a mutual thing it may not be the best use of time and such, it may make more sense to try to prevent someone getting hurt in a 90 day fiancé scenario, but in these cases of a straightforward arrangement, it is between them. It works for someone not for others, every case is different
I have been appreciating so very deeply the care and consideration you have applied to your exploration of your heritage. It has been a sensitive experience and full of human kindness and respect. All the best I life to you and yours from Julia in Australia
The statement from Amber and her husband saying they were trying to gather evidence to turn Ali into the police, and were lying all along and actually have a car dealership???😂😂 That was the best part of this whole show lol
The car dealership is so they can cover up all the millions £££ they are making elsewhere including the sham marriages..!!!
They were double agents the whole time. Amber and Akbar Bond.
LOL moments were when all those people confronted they turned their stories 160 degrees to the south
Right?? SHE left HIM a voicemail about "I wanted to see what he was up to". The same way they get fake lawyers to forge passports is the same way a sham one represented them.
Honestly i think the law there is super super super soft...... they flip the scrip and oh, we try to report ali to the police... hahahahaa and just bcs of that can't pursue the case? i hope they are in jail.
Thank God there are still registrars and immigration officers with integrity and morals.
23 years ago I was offered A LOT of money to marry someone from Venezuela, just to extend his student visa.
As a single Mom it was tempting for a micro second....but didn't accept the generous offer. Wish him all the best.
@Emma B you made serious mistake and loss out good money. You have to be wise.
The guy you turned down all those years ago now owns the second-biggest mining conglomerate in Venezuela with operations in 54 countries in South America, Africa, Asia, and Central America.
His yacht, named RS Emma, is the third biggest yacht in the Southern Hemisphere and he uses it to travel to Monaco, Bali, and Brixton.
@@threethrushes
How you know?
@@threethrushesf/g b/s total madness wdf u know that
I don't understand this whole operations, if there is no action taken against these perpetrators than why put poor Ali in danger. I don't think it's worth the effort.
What’s the point of the law if it’s not being enforced?!
Asa Pakistani American, I am very embarrassed. I am constantly reminded of the next life, and the effect of haram upon me in this.
You must be kidding me that with all this amazing evidence they have got here they still didnt arrest these lowlives?? No wonder they have no respect or fear about legal consequences.
I am happy they showed their faces, human trafficing is just evil I hope karma gets them all hard
Agree with you!
What does under cover helps? Where are the police to charge these people,? Total waist of time if they are not charged.
To be honest, in a country that has systematically destroyed every public service and function we have, I’m not surprised by people not caring about doing it. Would you? Knowing how run down public services are, why would any criminal be put off?!
I’m really more surprised by how surprised the presenters are.
Another great documentary though xx
I wonder if these people caught on tape will ever be arrested. Or the show just exposes them but no action taken against them.
Of course not. Their lawyer jumped in saying "We knew Ali was a fake and were trying to catch him for the police! So of course none of the things you filmed were real...we were only pretending so we could catch him. Nothing illegal here!"
Well there was 2 arrest's made in this documentary.
@@katrinav.7011 Sorry, but who and who were arrested?
Very well done documentary!
Not really. It impeded the law from being implemented and the legal guy just stated the obvious
Make the British resident go and live in the "spouse`s" country for the first 3 years.
The courts won't allow it
My British wife has lived in South Africa for 9 years , but due to our racist government she still does not have residency .
@@geoffreyevans3751why a british want south Africa redisdency
How are British people not outraged about what their country has turned to ?
Exactly, that's why I left
Cause their muppet lol
Damn, even the criminal is saying the system is soft where this is concerned, might want to take that into account
Worst confrontation ever! You could have at least taken a cop with them
Being politically correct weakens the
system. I am sorry to add the west Europeans is very, very naive.
Just remember. Being polically correct is the way how politicians keep on stilling from citizens and not being guilty of crimes .also Being politically correct is just another way of not telling the truth
I can't believe people do this for a weeks wages.
medal for the undercover guy tho...
Jk OP
I still can't get over the fact that you think some bureaucratic policies being tightened that accomplish nothing was getting something done. THERE WERE WOMEN BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD ON THIS SOW, remember?
21:38 Damn. This guy can beat Kenya's Kipchoge in a marathon hands down. 😂😂😂
When you try to do a surprise interview with a criminal in heels…. Genius lady
I think it’s good that these sham marriages are being exposed. In fact some people might not even know they are being used. If it is genuine and true love, then they won’t have anything to hide and will do well under the scrutiny.
This is scary! Protect your British youth, I never knew this was happening. Also makes me understand why their cultures in their home countries cant improve their own society, no respect for themselves or others.
biblemademedoit I’m asian (half arab half SE Asian) and I agree with this
Its not their culture, its their corruption in their home countries which force them to take such risky steps.
@@bobwa399 true ,let be honest corruption introduced by the slave masters in order to get one of us to sell our people to them to slave trade in Europe and USA..
Now this in implanted in our DNA and is destroying our African continent now chinese are doing the same to us as well.
I am also an Asian and I don't agree with this as well
I am also an Asian and I don't agree with this but I believe the torch bearers of the first world countries need to take cognizance of the fact that while we are talking about cultures here, lets not forget the culture of looting, force acquisition of land and resources by first world countries far supersedes the culture of trying to make their way into first world countries for better lifestyle or maybe money.
This is investigative journalism at its very best.
An excellent report
Chris has some balls. He did a scam within a scam. One of these days he should run for office; I am sure he would be awesome official. LOL
Be 😎
Actually
25:53 Those steel things and that restaurant were in a Kitchen Nightmares episode and Gordon wanted to get rid of them.
So true!
Mix and match curry
Absolutely disgraceful! Documentaries like these should be conducted WITH the correct authorities at the time of production where criminals can be taken into custody at the scene and intelligence gathered then and there. Exposing them like this and showing the relevant agencies after the fact, just drives scum like this underground.
The agency's comment about their laws "disrupting" illegal scams like this is pathetic. It needs STOP scams, not disrupt. And the justice/ court system need to back them up and throw severe jail terms at them!
Dee Fredericks maybe the cops are a bit busy to ride around at the behest of a tv production team
In the case of a neutral agreement, it may not really be something all that serious.
They need these scams to keep the Sham department in business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
we need to investigate Berlusconi
I could not agree more. It's just a waste of time and energy to do this type of investigation and do nothing to stop it. I feel like it's almost being complicit with the criminal act.
Yes‼️ this reporter is awesome‼️ Very brave.
This is awful those poor young women, it’s good that it’s been exposed but the people committing these crimes should be prosecuted now they’ve been caught
Amen! but the law just refuses to do anything about it, like this video said the rioters will just continue on rioting.
How are they poor when they know that it is illegal
the pub they meet in, on the wall in Irish it says "céad míle fáilte" which translates to 'a hundred thousand welcomes' in English, lol isn't that ironic.
😂😂😂
Good observation!
Hehehe
No.
OMG Honesty is rare these days
Wow 😲 thank you God bless great video
Excellent Documentary.
prison and deportation. If this is not organised crime, I dont know what it is...
Criminals will always find a way to rip off both desperate people AND taxpayers. It is all about money.
Thank You for wat You're doing.
Everyone has to admit that it is a very strong racket and working from ages in Europe but everyone has their own interest 🙏🏻 This is my personal view in Good Faith without any motive whatsoever. Sohail Karachi.
The way this can all be stopped is for couples to prove they have a long term relationship and a long engagement. Most people who meet and fall in love whether on a dating site or in their social life do not go rushing into marriage within weeks or months. In the olden days like during my grandmothers time, couples were typically engaged for 2 years before they married and they got to know each others families and form bonds with them long before the marriage. They need to make it a 2 year rule. It might even work for marriage in general, if people were required to have a 2 year waiting period and undergo couples counseling during that time. They should be required to refrain from having children during this time too. No unwanted neglected children and many baby daddies and many baby mommas......
My American parents married in 3 months of meeting, married till death parted them nearly 50 years
@@roselee4445 But thats rare. In my grandmothers day an engagement of 2 years was respectable, and in her case she was never allowed to be alone with her fiance but was chaperoned at all times until they were married.
Britney Spears married after a drunken weekend with a guy, well he wasnt illegal. She anulled it next day.
You're delusional
I am very curious how the majority of the UK 🇬🇧 feel about immigration. Are more “legal” people for tough immigration laws or do more fight against the government and feel anyone should be welcome? I am from the USA so like I said I am curious how the people in the UK feel about immigration!?!?!?!?!❤️ God Bless and everyone please stay safe!!!!
We voted brexit. Hope that answers your question
@@haddingtoniangcp2464 it was a very close vote between the British public. And because of Brexit, there have been a shortage of delivery drivers, you know the ones who deliver food to the supermarket. You’re deluded if you think brexit has done and will do any good for the U.K.
@@Mazzie2022 I didn't laud brexit. It is what the British wanted and got. Now we will live with it. We are a tough lot; we survived the recession and the Troubles. We will surely survive brexit
@@haddingtoniangcp2464 your country did colonised half of the world as well, taking whatever they want from them, using them as slaves and now they don’t allow immigrants to be resident in uk 🤔 it does sounds like a nazist country doesn’t it?
Unbelievable. "You wont get in trouble." A 40 year old woman told me as i was in college i can make money marrying Mexican men. She assured me it was ok as she has done it 10x!! Well she got caught and still in prison. That was 1990 here in the USA. No thanks i said. She lost everything.
So funny their response : ) good narration
Send them all back

These people need to 🛑 stoped and need to sentence 8 minimum and asked to pay for the healthcare services
I was talked into what was later found as a sham marriage where people who we had known for 25-30 years(family friends) ended up playing a game just to settle a nephew here and attain the “stay”. These criminals are sometimes closer than you think. Be wise people and stay safe. 🙏🏽
That's cruel, blunt ! They don't care about the depression you'll face after.
And sometimes they know 100%, but they view it as a business arrangement so they are happy to do it
How, exactly?
@@orubek355Of course they don’t care.
I feel so sad this makes me sick don’t these so called ppl have mothers daughter or sisters
They should have prosecuted everyone involved with this scam...
As soon I've heard from selling girls to guys or blackmailing I would go straight to the police. Not after I warned them with confronting them. But maybe the outgoing of the documentary was more important. 🤔
No, "Ali" safety was more important. The guy who accepted to be the honeytrap was, and possibly still is, with his neck on the chopping block.
@@karinefonte516 which makes no sense at all, because they called the police after the documentary anyway. Why not before they can hide? Or confront them with the presence of the police?
Reporter to Amber: "Don't you feel ashamed of dealing with human traffic?" Should one laugh, cry, scream? Shows the ultimate futility of it all.
I know! I thought they were going to get Julie out. Those poor girls.
All that risky business for ONLY 2000 quid? there are easier ways to earn that money without getting into trouble with the law.

Excellent documentary. Don't understand why some of these criminals aren't charged with human trafficking.
Easy to understand why Switzerland requires 7 years of marriage before Swiss citizenship is granted to the foreign bride or groom.
Here, 26:25 the lawyer refers to how soon the fake-marriage couple can.begin divorce proceedings in the UK.
