The Portuguese Public Ministry has charged 15 individuals, including six companies, with organizing a scheme to facilitate illegal immigration. The operation, called 'Contrato Formoso,' uncovered a network led by Mustafiz Sairniabat, based in Lisbon, that used fake employment contracts to legalize thousands of immigrants, mainly from Pakistan and India. The scheme involved charging each immigrant around €6,000 for documents, including false work contracts and social security contributions, generating over €448,000 in illicit profits. Sairniabat and accomplices also recruited Portuguese citizens to sign false residence attestations for small payments. The investigation revealed that the organization exploited legal changes to streamline immigration processes, with Sairniabat's company issuing fake employment records for hundreds of migrants.
