- He was found guilty (in his absence) of conspiracy to breach immigration laws and money laundering. He was an immigration adviser for a
solicitors firm (Souleiman GA solicitors) which facilitated sham marraiges by paying women from Europe to marry men from
non-EU countries. The court heard that the solicitors charged up to £14,000 for the illegal marriage service.
The judge said: "A heavy responsibility for upholding the law rests with the lawyers. If the public cannot trust them, who can they trust. You have destroyed that trust by driving a coach and horses through these rules." - Case Timeline
