A raid by immigration officials has led to the arrest of 35 people from Albania, Brazil, Nepal and Egypt who were working illegally at burger chain Byron.
The home office said that the burger chain had carried out right to work checks, but had been shown false documents and thus will not face civil action.

A Byron statement said: "We can confirm that several of Byron's London restaurants were visited by representatives of the Home Office. These visits resulted in the removal of members of staff who are suspected by the Home Office of not having the right to work in the UK, and of possessing fraudulent personal and right to work documentation that is in breach of immigration and employment regulation."

The business added: "We have co-operated fully and acted upon the Home Office's requests throughout the course of the investigations leading to this action, and will continue to do so."

The Home Office said: "Immigration Enforcement officers carried out intelligence-led visits to a number of Byron restaurants across London on July 4, arresting 35 people for immigration offences.

"The operation was carried out with the full co-operation of the business.”
