I am not an expert on such matters, but I think that Ronnie Biggs (old school British super G, part of The Great Train Robbery) impregnated a girl in Brazil (probably married her to) to escape extradition to England.
He basically stayed in Brazil his whole life.
The for some reason, he actually went back to England and I think died in prison.
(The story might not be 100% accurate, but that was my understanding. Look it up if you are interested.)
G, I visited Ronnie in Brazil when I was in Rio back in 1998. I went to his house, had lunch and played pool with him and met his son Michael.
He did not get deported because he had Michael. He did not need to get married.
Also, funnily enough he swore he would never return to England when I met him.
As far as I know he was released from prison in England a year or two back and is still alive today.
Yup I checked he's still alive. He went back to the U.K of his own free will. They caught him and released in 2009 on health grounds.
