A man attempting to enter the Maldives with a counterfeit passport has been arrested by Immigration Border Security.
Maldives Immigration revealed that a man had been stopped by Immigration Border Security for attempting to enter the Maldives with a counterfeit passport, and that he was a 36-year-old man of Middle-Eastern origin.
Further detailing the incident for RaajjeMV, Immigration revealed that the man had attempted to enter Maldives via Doha on 8 February, with a South American country's passport in his possession.
As the man is of Middle-Eastern origin, Immigration was able to flag his passport as counterfeit by crosschecking it with the Interpol database for Stolen and Lost Travel Documents.
