Sham marriage scheme between soldiers and foreign nationals ends in sergeant’s conviction
By: Kyle Rempfer   1 day ago
An Army sergeant was convicted Thursday of conspiring to marry soldiers to immigrants in an exchange of legal residency status for cash and other benefits, like moving out of the barracks and attaining basic housing allowances.
The sham marriage ring was facilitated, according to court records, by Sgt. Edward K. Anguah, a culinary specialist at 3rd Expeditionary Command on Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Anguah was found guilty of conspiracy to commit marriage fraud and fraudulent misuse of visas, permits and other documents. He was found not guilty of a third charge, bringing into the United States and harboring foreign nationals.
He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment.
