At the border, the “father of many children” could not name the date of birth of any of the three children

At the checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Polish border, a man who tried to travel abroad introduced himself as a father of many children . However, as it turned out later, the documents provided to the border guards turned out to be fake.

A 58-year-old native of the Kherson region tried to travel to Poland by regular bus. He provided the border guards with copies of three notarized birth certificates for children.

A man bought fake documents

In addition to copies of certificates, the man showed the border guards his passport, which contained information about three children aged 8, 11 and 15 years old. The border guards suspected forgery of documents, so they invited the “father of many children” to a conversation, during which he could not name the dates of birth of “his children” and the place where documents were issued.

Later, the man admitted that he bought fake documents from unknown persons for in order to cross the border. The border guards informed law enforcement officers about the offenses under the article on forgery of documents and handed over the man to the police.

The State Border Service noted that during the martial law regime, only the border guards of the Lviv detachment found more than 1,700 documents with signs of forgery. All cases were reported to the police.
