An alleged 'passport gang' used identities of alcoholics to get documents for criminals, a court hears.
Four men and two women have gone on trial accused of making fraudulent passport applications for criminals.
The applicants were allegedly put under duress, or paid, to allow the defendants to take over the application. The court was told that a handwriting expert will give evidence that Anthony Beard wrote the passport application giving a pay-as-you-go phone number which was later tracked by the investigators.Beard's own phone and the "burner phone" were detected leaving the UK via Gatwick for Spain together using analysis of mobile phone signals, suggesting he was using the phone number which had been given during the passport application.
The recordings picked up the defendants using slang such as "books" for passports, "paper" for application forms and "smudges" for photographs, the prosecution will allege. Mr Thompson's brother Alan, 72, is accused of being a "trusted lieutenant" of Mr Zietek and is on trial with his wife, Mandy Smith, 63.
