Two to be sentenced in March for roles in visa scam

A former Department of Justice employee and a Chinese national will be sentenced in March for their role in a scam where visa extensions were issued to immigrant students in return for bribes.

Dara Revins (aged 28) worked in the Garda Immigration Bureau issuing visas to Chinese students who had come to Ireland to study English. His co-accused, Bin Yang (aged 26), refered students who didn’t met the conditions for a visa extension to Revins.
