Dutchman refused bail over passport
Naoufal Fassih, aged 35, of Moroccan origin, was refused bail by Judge Cormac Dunne at Dublin District Court yesterday. The court heard he is looking for legal aid but gardaí have objected, saying he had €800 runners, and that three designer watches worth €83,000 in total were found at an apartment where he was arrested.
He is charged three offences under the Theft and Fraud Act for possessing a fake Belgian and a false Dutch passport and using them to incite another to believe they were real. He was arrested at an apartment on Lower Baggott St on April 7, the court heard.
