The Iraqi Judiciary has registered cases of illegal immigration of people who have used official passports issued by European countries.
The investigative authorities said that some of these passports belong to immigrant brothers, while others were stolen from other people who look in their features and similarities with immigrants, as reported that foreign (mafias) have parties in Iraq selling them for small amounts of money.
It stressed seizing a number of those inside Baghdad International Airport or airports outside Iraq, pointing to the arrest of 30 of them since mid of this year.
According to the investigative judge of Baya court , Ihsan Majeed in a report of the media center for the judiciary: "The past period has witnessed arrest cases of people tried to leave the country with official passports but they do not go back to them, but were issued by European countries."
Majid said that "these travelers are using passports either stolen, or they return to their fellow immigrants previously, help them to leave the country, hoping to get a chance to asylum".
The approximate figures show that "the first half of this year witnessed the arrest of about 30 people tried to leave the country in this way," but judge Majid does not have statistical data on "the number of people who escaped from the airport".
He believes that "modern technology and the use of iris recognition may prevent the impunity of many, contrary to what was previously done , now they are directly being revealed and arrested by the forces in the airport."
