Iranian couple arrested for using fake Bulgarian passports

By The Nation

 

An Iranian couple were arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Friday for using fake Bulgarian passports.

 

Immigration Bureau chief Pol Lt Ge Surachate Hakpal told a press conference on Saturday that Moazzez Houman, 42, and Khatereh Esmaeili Houman, 36, were arrested at the airport at 11am on Friday.

 

Surachate said the two arrived on Qatar Airlines Flight QR826 at 3.30am. He said they hung around the departure passenger lobby until 11am before they came to an immigration counter to seek a visa on arrival stamp using Bulgarian passports.

 

Immigration officers questioned why they waited for hours after their arrival before seeking the visa. When they checked the passports they were found to be fake.

The couple said they used the fake passports in the hope of travelling on to a European country after they got the visa on arrival stamp in Bangkok.

These two are onto something. Why on earth would you need a fake passport to travel to Europe? A legit Iranian passport should do fine.

These 2 may well be up to something and I can't confirm or deny that?  With all the people trying to escape the current regime out there, as they have claimed, they may have genuinely been trying to get to Europe to possibly claim asylum somewhere?  However, as someone whose British daughter is married to an extremely nice Iranian, who is educated, comes from a well respected family and in his early 30s, already owns enough property that he doesn't have to work if he doesn't want to, I can confirm that visas are a problem wherever he travels.  It can be done but it takes a lot of time.

I am sure the European and Americans are looking at these people too. Weak excuse for using fake passports to travel to Europe might be a cover for more sinister plans at some point, e.g. terrorism.
