Five people arrested in a Europe-wide operation to uncover an international band promoting fake marriages, centred in Cyprus, were found guilty on Tuesday by the Larnaca criminal court.
The court heard that the mastermind was a 40-year-old man from Pakistan, his 45-year-old wife from Portugal, who recruited brides, two Indians, aged 38 and 26, members of the illegal network in Cyprus, and another Indian, who performed a sham marriage.
