Deutsche Welle: Deutscher Ausländeramt-Mitarbeiter in Fake-Maritages-Ermittlungen
The German newspaper "Bild" revealed that an employee in the Foreigners' Office in Cologne was involved in a migrant smuggling network that organized sham marriages in exchange for money. Investigations estimated that the network had made around 76,000 euros from these scams. The case began with a video from Cyprus showing a virtual marriage between a Bulgarian woman and an Indian man, which raised suspicions about the legitimacy of the marriage and the source of the Indian man's residence permit. The suspect, who is being questioned along with her husband and two others, is believed to be part of an international network that recruits Bulgarian women to conduct fake marriages, facilitating foreigners' entry into Germany or helping them legalize their status—all while profiting financially from these schemes. A verdict in the case is scheduled for February 2027. The accused remain in pretrial detention until then, and the charges are still under investigation.
