A Chinese national who tried to go to the United States using a fake Korean passport was caught while transiting in Panama and returned to the place of departure.

The Panama Ministry of Public Security announced on its official social network service (SNS) on the 23rd (local time) that it had sent back a Chinese citizen who tried to change his travel route by presenting a fake Korean passport.

A video posted on Twitter shows a man’s forged South Korean passport and his original Chinese passport placed side by side. A man is also seen moving to the departure hall under the supervision of a public security officer.

After buying a plane ticket from Ecuador to the Netherlands, it was investigated that the man tried to change his destination from Tocumen International Airport in Panama to Miami, USA. The man was then sent back to Quito, Ecuador’s capital, where she departed.

Located 24 km from the center of Panama City, the capital of Panama, Tocumen Airport is one of the continental aviation hubs of the Americas. It is known that around 16 million passengers use it annually (as of 2019).
