Handcuffs instead of rings: an Austrian organized a marriage of convenience in Slovakia. He had been arrested.
“Drum check who is bound forever” – in this case, this task has been taken over by the police. And replaced the wedding rings with handcuffs. Masked and heavily armed, a special forces team recently stormed a registry office in the small Slovak town of Šala, about 100 kilometers from the Austrian border. Reason for use: According to researchers, the alleged love marriage between a Slovak (18) and a Turk would serve only one purpose: the groom (28) wanted to settle permanently in the EU. A marriage of convenience, allegedly arranged by a 54-year-old “wedding planner” from Austria with Turkish roots.
3000 euros for “yes”
Who was also present at the ceremony and was arrested in the civil registry after cross-border cooperation with colleagues from Austria. The Slovak would have been promised 3,000 euros for her ‘yes’ from the red-white-red matchmaker. This would have been the third attempt for the “wedding planner” and the Turkish groom-to-be.
Potential bride kept in the house – escape!
The first arranged marriage of convenience fell through in October. In the second attempt, the potential bride was detained in a house in Slovakia just to be safe. However, the woman managed to escape and the investigation began.
