Born on January 1st, 1978, the authorities in Ireland first became aware of him in 2008 when he sought asylum. So fast, in fact, it was significantly skewing national asylum seeker trends. The Garda National Immigration Bureau teamed up with the Latvia state police and Eurojust, the EU’s criminal justice co-operation body, to investigate him. So prolific was his operation that the Garda inquiry linked Ramzan to the booking of more than 100 flights for brides. However, he refused to leave the State voluntarily or to present at designated Garda stations for deportation so the Garda National Immigration Bureau’s evader tracking unit was charged with looking for him.
