DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO ALLIED BRANDS LTD

Word was received today that the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship has an active investigation underway concerning the "sale" of residency visas to South Koreans.

The scheme involves former ABQ director David Graham, who is currently Managing Director of ABQ subsidiary "Allied Brands International", as well as several migration agents in Korea and Sydney.

The allegations are that franchises have been "sold" to South Koreans along with 457 or 163 visas. Both are inappropriate for these kinds of migrants.

One holder of this migration visa who has lost their shop has had their inappropriate visa cancelled. The government has replaced it with a "bridging visa" while the investigation into Allied Brands and Baskin Robbins Korea is underway.

Ads placed in Korean publications to find franchisees (suckers) for this scheme are shown below.
