A man has been sent to jail for using his deceased mother's passport to smuggle women into the UK via Stansted airport.
Najr Mansour, 47, of The Greenway, Wealdstone was given a two year jail term after he pleaded guilty to assisting unlawful immigration and to possessing an identity document with improper intention.
Steve Rankin, from the Home Office's Criminal Investigations Team, said: "Najr Mansour showed a complete disregard for immigration law. Instead of cancelling his mother's passport, he regarded the document as a potential money making scheme."
"These were the actions of a cold and calculating criminal, renting out his dead mother's identity for profit. The sentence handed out today is a warning to anyone involved in this kind of criminality.”
