The New Zealand front woman of an immigration scam has been given home detention and made to pay back $30,000 to six Chinese chefs. Jinyan (Jenny) Zhang, 35, had pleaded guilty to six charges of obstructing an Immigration New Zealand investigation, supplying false information and aiding in the breach of visas.
Zhang had run an immigration company that would help Chinese nationals come to New Zealand to find work. One of the categories of skilled workers needed was for Chinese chefs.
The victims would pay $24,000 New Zealand in China, often having to borrow the money, to get a visa and a job offer. Zhang would organise the visas and jobs offers were made with various restaurants, like Lychee Cafe, the Yangtze restaurant or Uncle Chan's Group but when they arrived they were told the job was somewhere else.
Wellington District Court judge Ian Mill said some never worked at the places they had been promised. The conditions were not the same as on their visas and they were not paid what was agreed. One was not paid at all for some work she did.
One chef was sent to work at Lychee Cafe for only a week after being told Immigration New Zealand were investigating. He was told to say he had been there the whole time.
Another woman was told INZ were looking for her and to hide and not speak to them. If she did Zhang would consider helping her.
Judge Mill said Zhang's company, Ancheng, which was no longer in operation, had been paid considerable amounts of money and none of the victims who complained had had any money refunded.
He said Zhang was the New Zealand arm of the scam and the victims had been treated poorly.
He gave her 10 months home detention, ordered her to do 300 hours community work and to pay $30,000 to be divided between the victims.
Others involved in the scam are to be sentenced tomorrow.
Zhang's lawyer Barbara Hunt said she had been trying to help the workers finding them new work in New Zealand.
INZ lawyer Ian Murray said it was clear Zhang had helped orchestrate the fraudulent scheme, where workers were paid well below the minimum wage and were exploited.
