In the news; A Bangladeshi chef has been convicted for organising sham marriages in order to obtain UK residency permits. Wahidul Islam, with an address in Tates Avenue, Belfast, was convicted along with a Bangladeshi workmate and his Portuguese wife on charges arising out of their marriage in June 2011. He was convicted in his absence after failing to show up at Antrim Crown Court for the last days of his trial. An arrest warrant was issued for Islam, who already faces deportation. It took the jury five hours, over two days, to convict 43-year-old Islam on a majority verdict. He was arrested by police as another Bangladeshi man and his would-be Portuguese bride were about to be married in Larne, County Antrim, on 16 April last year.
