Migrent from Kosovo faked 13 babies' father for passports

An immigrant from Kosovo has been sentenced to five years in prison in the United Kingdom after being convicted of assistance in illegal immigration, pretending to be the father of 13 Albanian babies to provide them British passports.

Petrit Musa, 38, created fraudulent applications in the name of a criminal gang in exchange for the significant “ ” money, the Crown Court in Isleworth announced. He had managed to secure six passports successfully before the fraud was discovered by the Interior Ministry, the Daily Mail writes.

According to the prosecution, Musa, who had received permission to stay in Britain in 2021, used his legal status to apply for passports on behalf of children who had no connection with him. The babies were children of Albanian mothers who had illegally entered Britain and had paid large sums for the ministry.

Investigations revealed that Musa had paid off a debt of over 400,000 pounds from the scheme's profits, but had continued to take advantage of the fraud even after the repayment of obligations. Photos of “selfee” where he appeared with large amounts of money, as well as evidence of numerous deposits in a bank near the “Westfield” shopping mall.

“This was a relatively sophisticated plan, with a pattern repeated in each of the 13 cases,” said prosecutor Oliver Pateman, adding that Musa's role was essential to the success of the scheme.

Defence lawyer Patrick Maggs argued his client was “kukulla” of the criminal group, which did not benefit most of the profits. He was the one who put his name and face on cheating, while others stood in the shade,” said Maggs.

Justice James Thomas admitted that Musa was not the principal organizer, but stressed that he received considerable sums and bore direct responsibility for fraud.
All passport applications have already been revoted by the British Interior Ministry.
