A corrupt lawyer boasted of using ‘b*******’ European human rights laws to keep immigrants in the UK illegally.
Nazakat Ali, 38, said he would use the controversial legislation to stop clients being deported while they waited for a sham marriage.
The father-of-four helped broker deals in which desperate Pakistani and Indian men paid up to £10,000 to marry Eastern Europeans.
But he was secretly recorded gloating that he also used human rights laws to help his ‘clients’ evade the authorities.
Asked what he put on official paperwork claiming removal from the UK would breach their right to a family life, he replied: ‘Just b*******.’
Yesterday, Ali was branded a disgrace to his profession and jailed for six years for his role in the sophisticated and lucrative scam.
Judge Mark Bishop said he was an arrogant man who traded on his reputation as someone who could ‘get around’ immigration controls.
He said: ‘As an officer of the court you have a duty to maintain the rule of law and uphold the integrity of the legal system – by your actions you were doing the exact opposite.
‘You were demonstrating a deep cynicism for the principles you plainly saw as expendable to get the result for your client that you wanted.’ Ali posed as a wealthy and successful self-made lawyer, running his own firm from offices in East London’s Upton Park.
He was a well-known as a generous member of the congregation at his local mosque and was urged to stand for election as a local councillor as a ‘role model’ for others.
But Inner London Crown Court heard he was secretly profiting from the misery of women smuggled into the UK and desperate immigrants on short-term visas.
The scam revolved around ‘certificates of approval’, in which non-European nationals had to ask border officials for permission to marry before applying for residency.
Ali charged up to £600 to complete the paperwork and ‘set the ball rolling’ for people who had exhausted every other route into the country.
The documentation was designed to convince officials at the UK Border Agency that the couple had met and fallen in love with the women.
