Deputy Philip Ozouf is to be sentenced by the Royal Court after pleading guilty to a series of offences under the Immigration Act.
The St Saviour Deputy appeared in court this morning to face five charges relating to the employment of Rwandan nationals in breach of restrictions about the nature of work they were permitted to carry out in Jersey.
Deputy Ozouf pleaded guilty to all five charges during a previous appearance in the Magistrate’s Court, following which the case was sent to the Royal Court.
His co-accused Roberto Lora pleaded not guilty to four charges and will stand trial on 26 January.
Following this trial, Deputy Ozouf will return to court to fix a date for sentencing on 6 February.
