Frenchman Arrested Using Fake Passport for 5 Years in Thailand

BANGKOK:-- A French National has been arrested in Bangkok with a fake passport just days after a Russian National was arrested for using a stolen Spanish passport to exit the country.

A team of Special Branch and Phra Khanong police apprehended the 35-year-old French national in front of Lumpini Ville Building 1 on Soi Sukhumvit 77 in Suan Luang district at 11pm on Friday.

A search found the man had used a fake passport and has been living in Thailand for five years, police said on Saturday.

The suspect told police that his real name was Andre Espiasse Cabau and that he was a French national, but his passport identified him as “Andre Donatho”, the Bangkok Post reported. He had been staying in Thailand for five years

Idiot.

imbécile

Why was he not using his own passport what was he hiding from ?

crétin

Most likely not even a true French national, most likely an immigrant.

"A criminal record check showed that the man had been imprisoned for 10 years in France. Police said they suspected he might have been involved in a bank robbery in his country."

Probably this, but then, you would already know this had you read the article fully.

yeah, French nationals never commit criminal acts...

"The suspect told police that his real name was Andre Espiasse Cabau and that he was a French national"

This is good news. Anyone using a fake/ stolen passport is up to no good IMO.

Wanted Frenchman nabbed

BANGKOK:-- Officers from the police's Special Investigation Bureau have arrested a Frenchman who allegedly was involved in a bank robbery in his home country.

The suspect, whose name on a suspected fake passport was Andre Donatho, was apprehended at a condominium in Bangkok's Soi On Nut (Sukhumvit 77) on Friday night.

The man reportedly confessed that his real name was Cabau Andre Espiasse and he had been in Thailand for five years. The arrest was part of the national police chief's policy to crackdown on transnational criminals and passport forgery-related offences.

Police said the Frenchman, who had served 10 years behind French bars according to police investigation, was initially charged with illegal entry and stay in the country and was also suspected to be involved in a bank robbery case in his home country.

Another undocumented and racist comment.

Espiasse-Gabau is a name from the south west France

Another one of the streets in Thailand. Amazing that he must have got so many visas from nearby embassies, passed borders etc.

Not necessarily, he could simply have over stayed here for 5 years without every visiting immigration.

He is definately not a terrorist because his passport is fake.

people with many passports are not terrorists.

From the full article: Earlier, national police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichida ordered officers to step up their crackdown on criminal gangs and those using fake passports to enter the country.

So by stepping up their crackdown, they are saying 5 years is the limit on fake or stolen passports???
