A man who made false identity documents for organised crime groups involved in people smuggling has been jailed for three years and nine months, following an NCA investigation.
Algerian national Radouane Bouhafs, 43, was arrested by NCA officers in June outside his home in Edmonton.
In an outbuilding to the rear of the property, investigators found a forgery factory complete with printers, computers, blank cards and other items being used to make false documents including embossed gold foil.
A number of completed fake documents were also recovered, including Irish and French EU passports, Irish and Italian identity cards, an SIA licence, which qualifies the holder to work in security, and UK, Italian and Belgian driving licences.
Bouhafs admitted seven counts of possessing false ID documents with intent, and one count of possessing items used to make false ID cards.
Tackling organised immigration crime is a priority for the NCA, that includes those like Bouhafs who assist or enable the gangs involved.
