I guess that is because they hit him with the more serious charge of assisting unlawful immigration.Originally Posted by joebloggs
well the failed doc who opened a restaurant , he got 24 months, reduced to 18 months, probably because he didn't have the money to pay the fine
From the UKBA website :-
The civil penalty scheme sits alongside the criminal offence of knowingly employing an illegal migrant worker (section 21 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006). This offence will be used in more serious cases where rogue employers knowingly and deliberately use illegal migrant workers, often for personal financial gain. It will carry a maximum custodial sentence of two years, and/or an unlimited fine.
