Filipino’s visa-from-fake-jobs case elevated to higher court

 

The charges were filed by the Immigration Department

An asylum-seeker alleged to have presented fake documents to the Immigration Department on behalf of clients so they could be given employment visas, had his case elevated from the Shatin Magistracy to the District Court today after 16 more charges were added to the original four.

Immigration accuses Homer Herrera, 40 years old, of conspiring with other people to defraud the Immigration director and his officers by “dishonestly and falsely representing” to them that they were to work for named employers in Hong Kong “and thereby induce Immigration to act contrary to their public duty … in circumstances which they would not otherwise have granted.”

The offenses  are contrary to Common Law and punishable under Section 159C(6) of the Crimes Ordinance.

Magistrate David Chum sent Herrera back to jail  to await the next hearing.
