A Mainland man who entered into a bogus marriage has been jailed for 16 months by Sha Tin Magistracy.

 

Liang Jingyuan, 41, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud and one count of making a false representation to an Immigration officer.

 

Liang was found working illegally in a flat under renovation on February 11. He admitted that he had entered into a bogus marriage with a Hong Kong resident and intended to acquire a 90-day visa and work in Hong Kong.

 

On January 30, he arrived in Hong Kong and declared to the Immigration control officer that he came to visit his resident wife.
