Nigerian man arrested as he tries to marry a bogus bride in Wales.
A bogus bride was caught out because she 'flinched' when her phoney husband-to-be touched her knee in a register office. Emilia Ginova, 22, was jailed today for posing as a blushing bride ready to walk up the aisle with her groom. But
a court heard Ginova had only first seen Nigerian student Louis Esene
on the day of the service - and was being paid £3,000 to take part in
the sham marriage.
She was caught out by an eagle-eyed registrar who spotted her shocked reaction when Esene, 28, reached out to touch her leg. Registration officer Donna Davies said: 'The groom tried to touch the bride’s knee but she looked very uncomfortable. 'She flinched and there was no interaction at all. I knew it was a scam.'
The marriage was stopped - and the pair were both arrested at the register office in Pontypridd, South Wales. It was later revealed that Esene wanted to stay in Britain because his visa had run out. The
court was told a friend recruited Ginova - who is a Slovakian-born Roma
- and was four months pregnant by another man at the time of the
wedding. Esene and Ginova pleaded guilty to conspiracy to facilitate a breach of immigration law.
Amazing what people do for money and for indefinite stay
ReplyDeleteWhy was he jailed? He should have been taken straight to the airport and deported. And get a taste of kirikiri prison.
