Three Iranian men and a British citizen have been arrested following a BBC News investigation into organized crime gangs operating on the High Street. The gangs are suspected of helping people enter the UK illegally and facilitating illegal work. The BBCs undercover reporters found evidence of criminal networks organizing and profiting from undocumented workers, with one man claiming to have customers in every city and could erase illegal working fines worth up to sixty thousand pounds. The Home Office and police forces are leading a multi-agency investigation to tackle this widespread abuse, with those involved facing prison time and asset forfeiture.
