| The fall of Iranian ‘doctor’ who forged Israeli and lots of other passports |
| 2016-07-30 |
| [IsraelTimes] For years, Hamid Reza Jafary evaded arrest, thanks to a network of Pak lieutenants and a low-key lifestyle. Now he languishes in a Thai jail, after a rare slip brought down his empire. For a few thousand dollars "The Doctor" opened doors to the world, supplying pristine fake (including Israeli) passports to gangsters and rebels, refugees and migrant workers -- all from an unassuming, scruffy house in the Bangkok suburbs. But this Iranian master forger now languishes in a Thai jail after a rare slip unspooled a criminal enterprise that helped thousands of people to sidle into Europe and beyond. |
