[BREITBART] A 22-year-old asylum seeker has been given a suspended sentence after he attempted to pay a local hooker with fake cash he had made on a photocopier.The 22-year-old, who is said not to have a very firm grasp of German, attempted to buy the services of a hooker at a brothel in the town of Sindelfingen. When he gave her cash, the hooker noticed the bills were obvious fakes and alerted security who called the police, Stuttgarter Zeitung reports.
Investigators soon learned that the migrant had used a colour copy machine at the Magstadt asylum home where he volunteered doing janitorial work and had made 18 copies of a 50 euro note. They say the 22-year-old did a "sloppy job" on the fakes and were also able to locate scissors he had used to cut out the notes.
The asylum seeker initially told police he had come across the bills after selling his mobile phone but this was later proven false by the prosecutor. Even the brother of the asylum seeker admitted: "My brother has a problem with the truth."
The judge asked the 22-year-old, who lives with his 18-year-old wife and child, if he made the counterfeit notes because he was not getting enough money from the state. The man replied that his allowance, 1,300 euros a month, was fine and that the whole endeavour started as a joke.
