Authorities in France have arrested and charged eight individuals, including two police officers, believed to have been a part of an elaborate forgery scheme that helped hundreds of illegal migrants obtain official French residence permits.
After having operated for roughly two years, the tight-knit network’s scheme was finally brought to an end on Monday, June 5th when investigators from the Sub-Directorate for Combating Irregular Migration (SDLII) raided numerous residences and locations relevant to the case, arresting the suspects and seizing fake identity documents, state-of-the-art laser printers, loads of cash, computers, and other tools of the trade, the French news outlet TF1 INFO reports.
