The Daily Star - Suspected forger wanted on 136 warrants arrested - April 22, 2011

BEIRUT: A suspected forger wanted on 136 outstanding arrest warrants was captured by the Judicial Police in the Bekaa village of Brital Thursday.
The National News Agency called the 52-year-old man “one of the most dangerous counterfeiters in the country,” wanted by the national authorities and Interpol for allegedly committing a string of crimes, the most serious of which being the forging of legal documents, including drivers’ licenses, passports, military papers and other forms of identification. 
The suspect’s brother, 39, wanted for four outstanding arrest warrants, was also taken into custody. 
Separately, a 38-year-old man and his wife, 30, were arrested in Akkar by the Internal Security Forces after the man was found to be in possession of $1,000 and SP29,000 in counterfeit bills.
The couple was arrested in Mafraq al-Ayoun Wednesday, and the police confiscated a sum of more than LL1.1 million, which the man confessed to receiving in exchange for counterfeit currency, the ISF said.
