More than a thousand fake passports, including some for Malta, have
been seized in one of the biggest anti-counterfeiting operations in
recent years in Thailand, according to reuters.
A man, Mohammed Karim, 56 from Bangladesh, was arrested in connection
with the find and is being accused of systematically producing fake
passports and documents with police seizing two computers, a scanner,
three printers and rubber stamps for several countries.
Besides Malta, the seized passports were also for countries like the
United States, New Zealand, France, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.
It is believed these documents were then sold to middlemen who sold
them to gangs engaged in prostitution, terrorism and smuggling, Reuters
reported.
