The Jersey Customs and Immigration Service, JCIS, can confirm that a detailed investigation has
established the identity of an individual who arrived in Jersey in September 2024, who was arrested
and charged with offences under the Immigration (Jersey) Order 2021.
Enquiries made by JCIS have established that the person who claimed to be David Henry Law, and
to be a British citizen, is not David Henry Law and is not a British citizen.
Enquiries made by JCIS have also established that the individual has no right to reside in Jersey.
JCIS are now liaising with international authorities to make further arrangements regarding the
individual, and his return to another jurisdiction.
While this liaison is ongoing, the individual currently remains at La Moye Prison under Immigration
detention, having now served his custodial sentence.
JCIS cannot give any further details about the individual’s identity for privacy reasons and will not
make any further comment.
