According to the criminal proceedings, the suspect promised potential "clients" unimpeded travel abroad by "fictitiously" entering a higher education institution in Poland. The man estimated his services at $10,000 per potential student. The suspect was looking for clients mainly among young men who wanted to go abroad.
