Falsification in Gelsenkirchen Central Station: Federal Police reaches through

Gelsenkirchen - an incident on 3. September in the main train station in Gelsenkirchen has attracted the attention of the federal police. In the early hours of the morning, more precisely at 7:30 a.m. , officials carried out a control measure in which a 44-year-old man was targeted. During this review it turned out that the man presented a completely fake document.

The control was carried out by default, but the man, a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, presented the police officers an international driver's license, which quickly turned out to be a fantasy document. The officials confronted him with this discovery, but the accused preferred to make use of his right not to make a statement.

identity and illegal stay

The federal police officers faced the challenge of determining the identity of the man. First of all, they could not do this without reliable information. But during the control, the suspicious man stated that he had a photo of his Bosnian passport on his smartphone. This enabled the officials to verify his personal details.

The research in the central central register that was carried out revealed that the 44-year-old is inevitable in Germany. This information led to further measures by the Federal Police, which treated him in a detection and contacted the responsible immigration office. The result was clear: the man should be handed over to the immigration office.

The commitment of the federal police once again illustrates the challenges with which the authorities are confronted in the area of identity determination and illegal immigration. The rapid identification and arrest could prevent possible further crimes. The Bosnian is now not only faced with criminal consequences for falsification of documents, but also because of his unauthorized stay in Germany.

This incident also raises questions about the use of fake documents that are increasingly occurring in different forms. The police are still required to quickly recognize such cases and act properly. The accused man is now being processed by the immigration office.
