This first confirmed arrest of a fake "asylum seeker" happened in the hours after the Ministry of Finance said it seized boxes with false Syrian passports for sale and distribution to potential attackers who want to settle in Europe as fake "war refugees".
The news, published in the German newspaper Tageshpigl also revealed that police in Bulgaria seized 10,000 fake Syrian passports on their way to Germany.
A representative of the German Ministry of Finance said that the real and fake passports were intercepted packages in postal items. Possession of these documents is a vital part of the application for asylum as "war refugees".
"Tageshpigl" reveals that false Syrian passports are sold for about $1,500, and the fact that many of the "refugees" have enough money to buy more passports is yet another indication of the false nature of their claims that they are genuine "asylum seekers ".
Significantly, the article claims that "The Syrian passports are in demand not just by the Syrians and the members of ISIS and the Al Nusra front. Some refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan want to "become the Syrians" in order to request asylum in Western Europe. According to local media reports, nine out of ten refugees who came from Macedonia to Serbia are claiming to be Syrian. "
The ongoing trade of fake Syrian passports was confirmed even by the head of the EU border police Fabrice Ledger in a recent interview with TV Europe first.
Ledger said that the trafficking of false Syrian passports is originating from Turkey. "There are people who are now in Turkey and buying forged Syrian passports because Syrians receive asylum in all member states of the European Union, it's like winning the lottery for them" - he said.
Comment: So Turkey is not only a source of support for ISIS, human trafficking operations to get Westerners into Syria, and many of the refugees themselves; it is also the source of the fake passports. Perhaps Tony Cartalucci is right and Turkey a lot more involved in the manufacturing of the current European 'refugee crisis' than it will admit: Is Turkey engineering the refugee crisis to justify 'safe havens' in Syria?
"People who use false Syrian passports often speak Arabic. They can originate from North Africa or the Middle East, but have a profile of economic migrants," -he said.
Comment: First there was the railway bomb scare in Germany, now this. The idea of ISIS hiding among the refugees has been peddled by the MSM for the last few weeks. Given the involvement of Western intel agencies with the people smugglers, we wonder if there's more to this story than meets the eye. Germany has an interest in pursuing its own interests (which may run counter to the interests of its masters in Washington). The West has an interest in keeping Germany in line, by whatever means necessary. Do the math.
