I'm awaiting a reply from Mrs May on that very same question :-

I read report after report of arrests made before a sham marriage was about to take place where it states that the immigration offender was detained pending removal etc but the other participant (usually an EU female) is released. For an example see here

I have yet to read any reports covering the trial, conviction and sentencing of the “other participant”. They are complicit in the crime and should be charged under Section 8 of the Accessories and Abettors Act 1861 (as amended by s.65(4) Criminal Law Act 1977), which states:

“Whosoever shall aid, abet, counsel, or procure the commission of any indictable offence, whether the same be an offence at common law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, shall be liable to be tried, indicted, and punished as a principal offender.”

I’d appreciate your comments on this as I am very concerned that offenders are getting off scot free



I chased up for an answer the other day
