Geneva, Switzerland (20 Minutes, Fre) – Two men and a woman in their sixties and seventies, were stopped by customs officers at the Geneva-Croix-de-Rozon border early in the morning, and arrested when it appeared that they have been using a series – up to 25 in one case – of false documents to commit several crimes in Europe, including forgery, false documents and fraud. The new Schengen SIS shared identification system, in use at the border since August 2008, has allowed border guards to pick up 256 people sought by police within the Schengen area.
