| 00:00 | In the center of Athens, our sound man who speaks | |
| 00:04 | perfectly Arabic pretends to be a refugee. | |
| 00:08 | He wants to ‘buy a fake passport for the trip onward to Germany’ and meets | |
| 00:12 | this man, called Rasid. He quickly comes to the point. “Do you want a passport”? | |
| 00:16 | inclusive flight ticket? Yes, how much does it cost? 3.5 to anywhere you want to go. | |
| 00:20 | What country will the passport be from? | |
| 00:24 | That’s my job, not yours. Only thee to four days before the document | |
| 00:28 | is ready, the man tells us. With fake passports refugees | |
| 00:32 | who don’t even come from there can pretend to be Syrians and | |
| 00:36 | obtain asylum in Germany. A Syrian passport under the microscope of police investigator | |
| 00:40 | Nikolaus Gazis. A refugee had it with him on the Island of Lesbos. | |
| 00:44 | Visible only with multiple zoom, the blurred letters. | |
| 00:48 | It is a fake because | |
| 00:52 | they have altered all data. Via a middleman, we have arranged to meet | |
| 00:56 | with passport forgers. Distort the voices and no frontal shots are | |
| 01:00 | their conditions for an interview. At night they lead us into an apartment. | |
| 01:04 | Not only fake Syrian passports are stocked here, but even some from the USA | |
| 01:08 | and all EU countries. With those travel through Europe is even easier. | |
| 01:12 | Portuguese passport, French passport, | |
| 01:16 | everything imaginable. This here is a complete package | |
| 01:20 | to enter Germany, OK? Passport, identity card, | |
| 01:24 | and driver’s license. And there is even a guarantee of entry? | |
| 01:28 | Of course, even the code down here is original and can be read at the borders | |
| 01:32 | Iranians, Egyptians, Asians, people from the Middle East are their clients, | |
| 01:36 | according to the passport forgers. We can even change | |
| 01:40 | the ID chips. It’s only a software, if we break that we can change fingerprints and photos | |
| 01:44 | The passport is then even machine readable. And the police | |
| 01:48 | cannot recognize this? Of course not, that | |
| 01:53 | is the reason our clients pay lots of money. Simple passports cost only €300 to €400; | |
| 01:57 | those with a guarantee not to be discovered sell | |
| 02:01 | from €3000. And their gang is only one of many, | |
| 02:05 | the two men tell us. Passport forgers make a huge business with the despair of | |
| 02:09 | refugees, and at the expense of security in Germany and the whole of Europe. | |
