August, the Internal Security Bureau detained three persons who assisted
third-country citizens, including through arranging sham marriages, to
illegally obtain Latvia's residence permits.
Each person
involved in the scheme had a specific role to perform - one acted as a bride,
one was arranging sham marriages, and the third one, an official of the
Citizenship and Migration Affairs Office, did the paperwork to give
third-country nationals opportunity to legally reside in Latvia.
