Pakistani passport forger arrested

BANGKOK: -- A Pakistani passport forger has been arrested with a sizeable amount of fake passports of different countries and fake traveller’s cheques by the military and immigration officials.

Pol Gen Srivara Rangseepromnakul, the deputy national police, said Monday that the arrest of the Pakistani, who was wellknown under the pseudonym of Johny Painter, in Don Meuang area followed the apprehension on February 8 of an Iranian, Hamid Reza Jafari, reputed to be head of a passport counterfeiting syndicate.

Information gleaned from the interrogation of Jafari led to the arrest of Johny Painter or Mohamad Ramzan who masqueraded as a portrait painter in Sukhumvit area to cover up his real business activity which is forging and trading in fake passports.

Subsequent search of Ramzan’s apartment rooms in Min Buri and Bang Plad areas uncovered 92 fake traveler’s cheques worth 270,000 baht, 40 fake passports of 12 countries, 20 rubber stamps of fake passports and 91 fake visa stamps.

Immigration officials alleged that Ramzan would normally sell stolen and fake passports to Jafari.

He couldn't have had a work permit as a painter,yet was known by the bib as such.My opinion here is that "Johnny" either was behind on his payoffs to certain officials or it is the Army again ordering the bib to do their job.

I've often come across Western educated Pakistanis who after being born and brought up in their home country Pakistan have left it having settled in other countries.

It's inherently inbred into their system to beget collateral by any means they see fit. They have an sensational inbuilt hunger for deception and theft in order for survival that needs to be fed by us westerners. Us being the perfect candidates for such folly. We with our tongue in cheek pride belting out ideals to treat others as equals slinking back into our safe zones once we've been taking for a Helter Skelter ride by these immoral people namely: the Devils disciples.

Just saying........
