Canadian forger arrested in Madrid
Police say the man is on the run from the authorities in Canada where he had escaped from prison, and that a complete laboratory was found in his Madrid home. They say that he was capable of making almost exact copies of official documents, such as driving licences, and credit cards.
Investigations began in May last year when a large number of fake Belgium and British passports started to appear. They were originals but had been modified in Spain for fraudulent use.
Last month the police discovered who the forger was when he collected several postal packages from a courier company in Madrid.
One of the packages was found to contain invisible inks.
Understandably the man, who has not been named in reports, was carrying fake id when arrested.
