A Chinese man will have to sue if he wants to get back any of the $23,000 he paid to a Christchurch company director to arrange a sham marriage so that he could get New Zealand residency.
Chinese national, Jiachang Lu, received a sentence of 180 hours community work for his part in the scam and it is understood he has now been deported.
The woman involved in the scheme, Nicola Sheree Bell, was sentenced to 120 hours' community work.
But the man who arranged it, Stephen William Adams, 46, was today jailed for 16 months after admitting supplying false or misleading information to an immigration officer.
