Nueve ciudadanos bangladesíes denegados en el aeropuerto OR Tambo por visados falsos

Nueve ciudadanos de Bangladés fueron detenidos el jueves en el Aeropuerto Internacional OR Tambo después de que las autoridades descubrieran que poseían visados sudafricanos fraudulentos.

Los agentes de la Autoridad de Gestión de Fronteras interceptaron al grupo durante los controles de inmigración. Tres mujeres presentaron pasaportes bangladesíes ordinarios, mientras que seis hombres mostraron inicialmente pasaportes indios fraudulentos. Los nueve portaban visados sudafricanos falsos que supuestamente habían sido emitidos por la Alta Comisión de Sudáfrica en Nueva Delhi. Tras el interrogatorio, los seis hombres presentaron sus pasaportes bangladesíes auténticos. Los funcionarios les denegaron la entrada y organizaron su regreso a Bangladés. La Autoridad de Gestión de Fronteras está investigando el origen de los documentos y cualquier posible vínculo con redes criminales internacionales. La subcomisaria adjunta Mmemme Mogotsi confirmó los detalles de los documentos fraudulentos.
