Reform UK has unveiled proposals to imprison lawyers who assist illegal migrants in fabricating claims about their sexuality to secure asylum in Britain.Nigel Farage's party announced plans to classify the facilitation of fraudulent asylum applications as a "strict liability" criminal offence, which would carry a maximum sentence of two years behind bars.Under this approach, prosecutors would not need to demonstrate that lawyers acted with deliberate intent when helping clients deceive immigration authorities.The proposed legislation would align the treatment of immigration fraud with existing rules governing financial misconduct, where legal professionals and accountants already face criminal liability for enabling tax evasion or bribery.
