A naturalised Briton, Mahieddine Daikh, found at Bangkok Airport with 452 fake passports of various European nations appears unlikely to be charged with any offences. A Foreign Office spokeswoman admitted "He could not be prosecuted in Britain for this offence" when he returns to Britain. Why not? Britain recently spent £3m on the trial of an Afghan warlord whose crimes, whilst heinous, did not affect Britain in any way and yet has been imprisoned here for 20 years at an annual cost of £35,000. (He arrived here with a fake passport!!)
Procuring fake passports should be a serious offence even if no British Passports were found in this particular haul. How can Britain's borders be secure when people are not punished for supplying false passports even if those passports are not British?
