From: Ben
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
You will have seen recent coverage of the fraudulently acquired truck licences across news sites (https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/nzta-fraud...)
I would like to know:
1. Is supplying fraudulent documentation in support of a visa application an offence? If so, what are the possible sanctions that could be faced?
2. Were these (fraudulent) licences supplied to MBIE for the purposes of obtaining visas or work permits? If so, please describe the number of instances and types of visas or work permits granted.
3. Have any visas or work permits been terminated as a result of this fraud? If not, why not?
4. More broadly, how many times in the past six months has MBIE terminated a visa or work permit as a result of fraudulent documentation having been uncovered?
Yours faithfully,
Ben
