An interpreter who charged migrants money to lodge fake refugee claims has been convicted on five immigration fraud charges.
Immigration New Zealand says migrants were told by 30-year-old Nurul Noor Azman to make up asylum stories to get work visas and other privileges.
The offending was discovered during an investigation into exploitation of horticulture workers in the Bay of Plenty two years ago.
Immigration New Zealand's acting compliance manager Karen Bishop spoke to Kim Hill.
