Algerian Faces Deportation Over 'Sham Marriage'

An Algerian man who tried to seek asylum in the UK is facing deportation after his 'sham marriage' was rumbled, according to Wales Online.

The website has reported how Mohammed Bekaddour will now be deported after pleading guilty to to two counts of seeking to remain in the country by deception.

Cardiff Crown Court heard how 39-year-old Mr Bekaddour arrived in the UK in December 2003 on a tourist visa. It expired in March 2004, but the Algerian national remained in the UK.

He was arrested in May 2005 under a fake name after he was caught working illegally, Wales Online reported.

His claim for asylum was refused and he absconded and continued to live illegally in the UK.

He was then detained in June 2007 after being found working illegally in a Cardiff kebab shop.

But Algerian authorities were unable to confirm his name and he had to adhere to restrictions.

Mr Bekaddour was then arrested in August 2012 for a theft from a shop.

He was given a conditional discharge for 12 months.

The story came to light when it was discovered he had taken part in a 'sham marriage' with a Lithuanian national named Asta Norvaisiena at Cardiff City Hall on August 28 last year.

He was arrested in June and admitted his real name in interview.
