Mary Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 An illegal Brazilian immigrant who disappeared in 2004 worked as a cleaner inside the Houses of Parliament for nearly two months, it has emerged. Elaine Chaves Aparecida, 31, was only caught last week as she tried to gain access using someone else's security pass. The latest highly-embarrassing lapse to hit the Government is revealed in a confidential memo to Home Office minister Liam Byrne that was leaked to the Sunday Telegraph. And the document advises ministers to keep quiet about the incident unless asked by the media "given recent coverage of security guards employed illegally at Government offices". I wonder how many are working in Washington! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky71 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would hope that she is back in Brazil now, but somehow think not. After all, the Afghans who hy-jacked a plane and forced it land in the UK were allowed to stay. Also, remember what happened to another illegal Brazilian immigrant.
