Authorities detained 10 suspects, including two lawyers and one government employee.
The group is suspected of exploiting special provisions for foreign skilled workers to issue residence permits to hundreds of wealthy foreigners, primarily Chinese nationals but also individuals from the Arab region.
Clients paid between 30,000 and 350,000 euros to the lawyers, who then created fictitious companies to employ the clients and issued them salaries on paper. This facilitated their acquisition of residence permits in Germany.
I read the article, I wrote the previous post because 350k is a lot of money but is not that far from 500k, the amount for an investors visa in Italy and I don’t know the amount for that IN Germany
There’s no investor visa in Germany as far as I’m aware, only worker visas like the ones fraudulently obtained here.
