  "account": "A 27-year-old stateless man was arrested at Gibraltar International Airport on September 13 after being caught with a fake Dutch passport. Initially, he was preparing to travel to the UK using a Dutch passport, but airport ground staff noticed irregularities in his UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). This prompted further checks, during which police discovered the falsified Dutch passport, which did not match the man's real identity. The man was carrying his own valid identity document as a stateless person, issued by Greek authorities. He was arrested at the airport and taken to New Mole House police station, where he was questioned and charged with possession of a falsified or irregular passport. The man spent the night in custody and was due to appear before Gibraltar Magistrates' Court the following day. Police have not disclosed how the false passport was obtained or the intended destination in the UK.",
