The Price for Citizenship? $10,000

The Herald reports that a ‘friend’ of a number of MP’s, who quickly and miraculously got Residency and then Citizenship after making donations of $5,000 each to the Labour and National parties, has now been arrested.

(Allegedly) Arrested for  various Immigration, deception, identify theft and false passport issues.  I can see name surpession here would have been an issue, since he goes by at least five (5) different names.

The good thing I draw from this particular article is that either the Government, or NZIS, are getting tough about previous breaches of ‘immigration good practice’.

I wait to see how long the court case takes to happen.
