ITV Exposure.UK - The Sham Marriage Racket (2015)

A visa that will let you live and work in Britain indefinitely is worth a lot of money to a lot of people around the world - and, as a result, the sham marriage industry is booming.

Exposure sent an undercover reporter to find out more about the thriving industry. From alleged fixers offering a young woman as a fake bride for £10,000, to talk of fake passports and a clandestine meeting with an underground "Mr Big", we see a system failing to keep up. In March this year new rules were introduced to tighten up regulations and cut the number of sham marriages taking place in Britain.
Featuring undercover filming, How to Buy Your Way into Britain reveals that despite the promised Government crackdown, racketeers are seemingly still making millions by organising sham marriages, forging passports and human trafficking.
