Airport worker jailed
Immigration officer given nine year sentence
A Luton Airport worker, who was supposed to be stopping illegal immigrants from coming into the UK, has been jailed for allowing scores of people into the country in exchange for money.
Anthony Quarco, who worked for the Immigration Service's Criminal Investigation Team at the airport, was sentenced to nine years in prison at Croydon Crown Court.
Quarco, an asylum seeker himself, issued fake passports and smuggled a man into the country using his own identity.
He is thought to have been reported to the UK Border Agency by suspicious colleagues at the airport before his arrest.
The father-of-two of Wortley Road, Croydon, also volunteered as a special constable for the Metropolitan Police.
He was found guilty of 14 immigration issues, including misconduct in public office, money laundering of 143,955, facilitating the breach of immigration law by a non-EU national and possession of false ID with intent.
