Federal Law Enforcement Agents apprehended a sought-after swindler and unveiled a counterfeit identity document in the process.
In an unexpected turn of events, a 29-year-old Turkish national was arrested at Frankfurt Airport on August 28, 2025. The individual is now suspected of a series of offences, including illegal residence, procuring false official documents, and causing damage through the use of counterfeit currency.
The arrest was carried out by officers of the Federal Police. Upon arrival, a 21-year-old Turkish woman was waiting for the arrested individual at the airport. She claimed that she needed a forged identity card for a training contract, but no further details about the training contract have been disclosed.
During the search, indications were found that the arrested individual had been staying in the Federal Republic of Germany illegally. The suspect is also accused of engaging in illegal employment.
The search results do not provide information about the leader of the Federal Police Directorate Airport Frankfurt am Main in 2025. The 21-year-old woman, who was present at the airport, is not implicated in the new suspicions at this time.
The arrested individual was wanted on an arrest warrant by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Aschaffenburg. It was discovered that he was in possession of a completely forged Turkish identity card issued in another person's name. The suspect is now accused of purchasing an iPhone 13 with counterfeit 50-euro notes, causing approximately 500 euros in damage.
The arrested individual remains in custody, and the investigation continues. More details about the case are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
