Thaivisa News Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Bangkok:- An Iraqi man was arrested at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport Saturday morning for using a fake passport with fake exit and entry visa stamps. Immigration Police Division 2 Commander Pol Maj Gen Suwitphol Imjairat held a press conference at 12:30 pm Saturday to announce the arrest of Saif Hussein Ali Anbagi. Suwitphol said Anbagi was arrested at 8 am at an exit immigration counter of the Suvarnabhumi airport while he tried to clear the immigration process to board his Qatar Airways Flight QR831. Suwitphol said immigration officer used a VSC6000 passport checking machine to scan the passport and found that the visa stamps that showed he had exited the country and had re-entered at the Klongduan immigration office in Satun were fake. The officer used the machine to scan the passport and found that its lines and patterns were not as sharp as real Iraqi passports. So, police checked his name and did not find any record that Anbagi had entered Thailand. As a result, Anbagi was charged with using a fake passport with fake visa stamps. He was also charged with having sneaked into the country illegally. Suwitphol said Anbagi denied the charges but he failed to clarify how he had entered the kingdom. He was handed over to the Suvarnabhumi police station for taking legal action. In March this year, the Department of Special Investigation arrested an Iranian man in Chon Buri and seized over 1,000 stolen passports. He was charged with a member of a passport forging gang to smuggle foreigners to third countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
