A 32-year-old man from Somalia has been charged with selling several fake passports.

Mohamed Said Ahmed pleaded not guilty before magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech this morning.

In a statement released yesterday, the police said that the man had been arrested as a suspected mastermind in the sale of several fake passports and residence permits.

These documents were being used by third parties.
