16 December 2020
A Hull man has received a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to providing unregulated immigration advice.
Gary Pounder, 59, of Orchard Park Estate, Hull, was sentenced three months’ imprisonment (suspended for 12 months) and ordered to repay costs to the victims at Hull & Holderness Magistrates Court on December 10.
In September 2020, Mr Pounder admitted to providing illegal immigration advice or services following an investigation by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) in which three unrelated individuals confirmed Mr Pounder gave them unregulated advice for which he charged fees.
