Failed asylum seeker had fake documents posted to Blackhall addressA failed Albanian asylum seeker arranged to have fake Greek identity documents sent to his home address in County Durham in an illicit attempt to obtain employment.Durham Crown Court heard that Julian Cela, an Albanian national, came to the UK in November 2021 and lodged an asylum application.Timothy Jacobs, prosecuting, said as he absconded from the address where he had been placed by immigration authorities while the asylum application was assessed, it was withdrawn.Mr Jacobs said Border Force officers intercepted a mail package, sent from the Greek capital Athens and addressed to "Niko Vasili" at an address with a Hartlepool postal code. Examination of that package revealed it contained a Greek driving licence and passport in the name of Niko Vasili, plus a further passport carrying another Greek name.The package was resealed and posted onwards, arriving at the address where Cela was living, in Fourth Street, Blackhall, County Durham, on November 27.Cela was immediately arrested and gave the name of "Niko Vasili" before his true identity came to light.Mr Jacobs said photographs on the fake documents purporting to be "Vasili" were those of the defendant.Following his arrest there was a search of the address and further fake Greek identity documents, also bearing his photographs, were found.
