Police smash alleged migration racket

An alleged racket involving a migration agent supplying false documents to support
visa applications has been uncovered in Sydney.
Department of Immigration officials and Australian Federal Police officers raided
the office of a migration agent in Sydney's CBD on Wednesday.
He is suspected of falsifying documentation to support applications for permanent
skilled migration visas.
It is alleged the agent supplied false documents for at least 30 applications,
mostly from Chinese nationals.
Police will not identify the man because investigations are ongoing.
He is yet to be charged.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans said the raid was evidence of the government's
resolve to tackle migration fraud.
"Illegal activity by migration agents attacks the heart of Australia's visa programs
and will not be tolerated," Senator Evans said.
"People who obtain permanent visas for Australia based on falsified documentation
can have their visas cancelled."
