The Immigration Fraudsters

BBC News goes undercover to expose legal advisers charging migrants thousands of pounds to fabricate immigration claims, giving them fake cover stories.

Some migrants are being encouraged to pretend to be gay to claim asylum. They are advised to gather untrue evidence including supporting letters and photos at LGBT events, for their applications.

Others are encouraged to make false allegation of domestic abuse.

The investigation finds advisers exploiting migrants and abusing safeguards designed to protect those truly at risk.
