今天早上，两人因涉嫌欺诈和移民罪在伦敦被捕，内政部官员还没收了手机，珠宝和数千英镑现金。第三人因涉嫌非法入境而被捕。
Two people were arrested at addresses in London this morning on suspicion of fraud and immigration offences, with Home Office officers also seizing phones, jewellery and thousands of pounds in cash. A third person was arrested on suspicion of being in the country illegally.
英国内政部刑事调查的地区负责人克里斯·福斯特（Chris Foster）表示，这些虚假指控与一个名为Apanjon的孟加拉国LGBT社区组织有关，该组织位于伦敦东部的白教堂。
Chris Foster, a regional lead for criminal investigations at the Home Office, said the fake claims were connected to a Bangladeshi community LGBT organisation called Apanjon, which is based in Whitechapel, east London.
他说，庇护个案工作者最初发现了可疑索赔的模式，这引起了对该组织的担忧，移民官员已经调查了几个月。
He said asylum caseworkers had initially spotted patterns in suspicious claims, which raised concerns about the group, and that immigration officers had been investigating for several months.
福斯特说：“我们得到的一些情报表明，他们可以提供假信件和文件，而且收费可能在1，000英镑至4，500英镑之间。”
"We've got some intelligence that they can provide fake letters and documents, and they could charge anywhere between £1,000 and £4,500," Foster said.
“这可能是来自阿潘戎的支持信，也可能是精心安排的照片，暗示这些人是同性恋，也可能是来自声称处于友谊或性关系（同性关系）的人的来信。作为索赔人。“内政部正在审查100多项与犯罪网络有关的庇护申请。福斯特表示，一些虚假庇护申请“毫无疑问”会获得批准。
"It could be letters of support from Apanjon, it could be staged photographs, suggesting that these people are gay, it could be letters from people claiming to be in a friendship or a sexual relationship - [a] same-sex relationship - as the claimants." More than 100 asylum claims linked to the criminal network are being reviewed by the Home Office. Foster said some of the fake asylum applications would have "undoubtedly" been granted.
移民法官此前曾批评阿潘戎的证据不可靠或不可信，并发现一名声称参加了该组织活动的申请人提交了舞台照片。
Immigration judges have previously criticised evidence from Apanjon as unreliable or not credible and found that an applicant who claimed to have attended the group's events had submitted staged photographs.
内政部表示，该组织经常为那些以同性恋身份申请庇护的男性提供担保，但最初因政治原因被拒绝。在一个案例中，一名男子直到他最初声称九年后才提出自己的性取向。
The Home Office said the group would often vouch for men who claimed asylum on the basis they were gay only after having initially been refused on political grounds. In one case, a man didn't raise his sexuality until nine years after his original claim.
该组织被指控使用与今年早些时候BBC调查中揭露的顾问所推行的策略相同的策略。
The group is accused of using the same tactics as those pushed by advisers exposed in the BBC's investigation earlier this year.
内政部发言人表示，正在继续审查与该报道有关的庇护申请，该报道导致5月份两人被捕。

在4月份发表的BBC报道中，一位名叫塔尼萨·汗（Tanisa Khan）的顾问告诉一名卧底记者，她可以提供一个“全面的一揽子计划”，包括同性恋俱乐部的照片和其他支持证据。

她与一个名为伍斯特LGBT的社区组织有联系，她告诉记者，他们应该参加该组织，以便为他的虚假说法提供证据。
She was linked to a community group called Worcester LGBT, which she told the reporter they should attend in order to add to evidence for his fake claim.
在伦敦东部贝克顿的一个社区中心参加该组织活动的男子声称他们不是真正的同性恋。其中一位说：“这里没有人是同性恋。甚至不到1%是同性恋。甚至不到0.01%是同性恋。“调查还揭示了虚假医疗条件和假新闻网站如何被用来支持欺诈性庇护申请。
Men attending one of the group's events at a community centre in Beckton, east London, claimed they were not really gay. One said: "Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay." The investigation also revealed how bogus medical conditions and fake news websites were being used to bolster fraudulent asylum claims.
伍斯特LGBT现已关闭。其创始人此前表示，该组织没有在庇护申请中创造或支持捏造的证据，也不应由该组织来确定任何人是否真的是同性恋。
Worcester LGBT has since closed. Its founder previously said the group did not create or support fabricated evidence in asylum claims and it was not up to the organisation to determine whether any individual was actually gay.
