A Congolese man has been arrested on charges of identity fraud after he was caught using a fake passport to withdraw money, Phnom Penh immigration police chief Lour Rabo said yesterday.

Kanzi Francis Olivier, 38, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on Monday was caught using a fake Belgian passport to withdraw thousands of dollars in cash from a Canadia Bank branch in Tuol Kork district.

He was later found to be in possession of three passports. Rabo said the suspect had withdrawn $48,000 on March 17, and staff at the bank became suspicious when he returned four days later to withdraw more.

Not Canada.

Canadia Bank is one of the largest local banks in Cambodia. The bank was established in 1991 and became privatized in 1998. It has 22 branches in Phnom Penh and 28 branches in 20 provinces across the country.
