Congolese man jailed in the UK for using fake French passport

A Congolese man who used a fake French passport to work illegally in the UK has been jailed for nine months.

After confirming the passport was fake, officers arrested Mbaki on 7 December 2009 and charged him with possessing a false document and fraud.

He was sentenced to nine months imprisonment by Recorder Winston Roddick QC at Newport Crown Court on Thursday 10 June.

The UK Border Agency will seek his deportation from the UK on his release.

Steve Whitmarsh-Knight of the UK Border Agency immigration crime team said:

'Using a forged or counterfeit passport is a serious offence and anyone who does so can expect to face criminal proceedings, jail and removal from the country. 'We work closely with responsible employers and educate them on how to spot forged documents. Many are now raising concerns with us when they believe they are being deceived by individuals.
