Sri Lankan sentenced to three years for using fake cards, papers

posted by Editor at

The People’s Court of Ho Chi Minh City , Korea sentenced a Sri Lankan man Monday to three years in prison for using fake credit cards and papers. The court heard Sethu Theven came to Vietnam last March on a fake passport provided by a man from an illegal migration gang known only as BaBu.
Theven then used counterfeit ATM cards supplied by BaBu to withdraw money from ATMs.
He took VND134.5 million (US$8,500) from six local banks before being caught red-handed in late March.
Theven met BaBu in Thailand.
In 2006 Theven agreed to pay $15,000 to BaBu to help him migrate to Canada as his business in Thailand was suffering heavy losses.
He came to Vietnam to work for BaBu while waiting for his visa to be processed.
