the food you sit at the center of a global criminal network that starts with the simple everyday active theft. tourists more obvious soft targets preyed upon by pickpockets both within thailand and around the world. those passport stores order will find their way across thailand with careers. and then they will find customers but much of the profile of the document that's being stolen. the genuine passports are quickly passed on to the forges. some will simply alter the passports biodata pages names photos and countries of origin. master forges could create

a whole document from scratch so if your counterfeiting a whole documents it will have no immigration history stamped into it quite often a fortune will stamps into a document to make it look as if the person is well traveled and is a lower threat than somebody who's not travel for. when i was working at london heathrow the majority of forged documents were coming from thailand. the consequences of the forges activities can be deadly. in february 2012 bombers suspected to be agents of the iranian government tried to kill some israeli diplomats working in bangkok their bomb blew up prematurely wounding several passes by. c.c.t.v. shows the 3 suspects leaving the same. person how.

later passport forgery was linked to another far more devastating event on march 8th 2014 malaysian airlines flight 370 vanished shortly after leaving kuala lumpur for beijing with nearly 240 people on board. 2 iranians cleared immigration with forged documents. c.c.t.v. shows the men preparing to board the plane with fake italian and austrian past boards people began to understand how dangerous it is that people travel the world using stolen passports for fear of a concern we should all have. is that more than a 1000000000 times each year for people that have across borders or board planes without having passports screening guess interpol's database. interpol keeps a docile base of all possible worlds reported lost or stolen at the time m

h 370 vanished neither malaysia nor thailand was signed up to this database. but. they. could be. a dick up and took. power. away. border security is now tighter than ever watch lists and increased high tech vigilance should be making it even more difficult for terrorists and criminals to escape detection. but they are still getting through and the top forgers in tyler and a still in business. this

tie detective has been working on the m h 370 case for years he asked us to conceal his identity. well him up on. me. and my dad. from the choir. haunting my our. pointed to. only a criminal. today

.

i don't hear. 'd them and. they will write all of their. problem. in terms of my. day. when we do work or can kind. of. go against the. deal. bag.

then another terror attack changed the game this time in the heart of bangkok and the hunt for the doctor intensifies. one of the bomb suspects we get from china's shin jenga region was arrested days later you know bangkok suburb with multiple fake passports. and as police scoured the nation chasing down leads other foreigners were put under surveillance. this house in a bangkok suburb was of particular interest. the police start to tick of place i was sleeping i was a sleeping as was 8 o'clock. and they knocked the guard. and when it came out. the police came gents.

and. i got cuts in my back there. he says his name is hamud reza jafari but he was arrested with 5 passports so the police say they're not sure who he really is. the doctor the forges forger moved around undetected on fake passports between 2 years a master of deception who speaks several languages with a back story that no one has been able to verify. their real business and you have to lie to everybody it's made me a. normal person i mean i'm not

a normal person i want to hear more markers. the doctor says he came to thailand from iran as a stepping stone to canada where he planned to study computer science but he says bad luck stopped his onward journey leading to a criminal career that would last the next 20 years i came here in cairo i pay some by the about $6000.00 or make 4 or have got another. but they took my money on it on the day. i started to learn about the phosphor by myself congo on the run they know they may not let you know all because they are they business. so i try to buy some. first. i find probably have them on their stolen wrong in the market i bought for cool on that one on that or something like this. with thailand awash with

stolen passports and clients plentiful it was time for the forges. using a closed shop in a bangkok tourist area at the front the doc to hone his skills and sold his product . i know i. know i like jordan it was not difficult you just need. a choice of it so i started to get more come on this guy. take that. many names is it. like a football. i would choose name one family from different people is not difficult. for making one. the doctor insisted his customers follow his precise instructions for the deception

to work. you need to remember everything about your name a. place where you're living in each city who is president who is your king. what is your boss call or like this anything. more you know much better. the dr would coaches customers to make sure they would not cause. if you're trying to travel your voice. but it's time you yours. before. same as before totally 4th are. they are sort of the trusting disposable blog your passport you know everything about. their country over the anywhere no problem.

the police say the doctor sold his product and skills to anyone with money to buy. he insists these clients were mainly migrants and refugees from iran. looking to escape to the west he also claims to be selective about his clients. and he denies that his work increases the risk of terrorist attacks. because i know the people coming. in from the prayers not to just to kill the people of innocent people is absolutely different. but he doesn't ask his clients many questions. or whatever about the poc the spin is kip worst 'd of it i don't want to know. the doctor insists he has no links to criminal gangs tyo thora he say phone records linking directly to terror groups and

organized crime. the doctor was finally put behind bars in 26 days. but the police investigation into his work continues slowly evidence emerges showing the key role played by the best passport forges in the global security threats. from arrest interrogations and scenes telephone records police built up a picture of a network. a criminal web whose strength lay in its loose affiliations making perpetrators hard to pin down. at the center sacked the doctor the master forger her married reza jafari producing the best fake passports on the market. the police were

able to connect of barry to a number of other forges and middlemen. one key associate was a pakistani called abdul ghani aka babu. a well connected bangkok underworld fixer living in thailand on a retirement visa. i die. today. but not counted they're telling me had lived in their cribs and. had retired but they. don't do it all more cos of them into a pool. hall kotoko come over to the back of tolo who was also a forger himself producing low quality passports and

a fake european union driver's license. or lead a good job you will. bike up. to a competent nickel dural from the moon my. comment on concorde ride. will cost. carnival ted the pub europol you know but here coke or some other child by appealing to what it covers today and then over the past 40. jobs that have happened i mean a colony been criminalized p. move around or i got to talk to you have. another type of tiny afghan just dead acted as one of the doctors brokers. javid links the doctor with a tick raman a far more sinister figure. was wanted over

links to the al qaeda cell that blew up a packed commuter train in madrid in 2004 killing 191 commuters. that. i. had you know. mopping up the network has taken time. in early 20 a chain far she's nabbed another pakistani named mohammed. he was caught

with fake singaporean passports a travel document ranked the most valuable in the world for its visa free agreements allowing holders to into other countries. type police say it was the integra part of the doctor's network. while the government says it does work may have helped operatives for the islamic state. but while the doctor and his network may have been taken down the forgery business is too lucrative to just disappear i mean there's a big organized group of people making billions of dollars every year. criminals it's probably 2nd. drugs the biggest source of criminal money around the world. technology may prove to be the game changer. in till now forges have kept pace with the changes in

the manufacturing of passport probing for soft spots in global border security. but now there is something the all forces hope will disrupt the criminal networks. biometrics i had and facial recognition after now impossible to fake well not every country can afford to go biometric yet experts say it is inevitable so what will be your passport 50 years time it's going to be this or it's going to be this is going to be there. to capture your identity when you're traveling you know better than a piece of paper africa. passports will be redundant. none of this matters anymore to the doctor he was jailed for 23 years but he's still time will be hard

because of his guilty plea he says he hopes to one day remake his life as a free man and to shed a long criminal career that has forced him into the shadows i getting all i don't want to get cats in the age of 55 or 6. if it's going to be how. now is but there's. i told myself. one of honor. i really wanted to finish but i think that was the only way i could leave this job inside and inside my heart i feel happy.
