A Kosovar man has been convicted in Italy for running a network of false marriages between Kosovar citizens and Romanian women. The man, identified as Krasniqi, was sentenced to four years in prison for illegally obtaining residence permits and later Italian citizenship for Kosovar citizens. The marriages were part of a well-organized system where women were often pressured to marry multiple times to help obtain more residence permits. The scheme involved relatives of the couples as witnesses, and the marriages took place in the presence of these witnesses. The false marriages deceived officials at the Ravenna City Hall who acted in good faith.
