LONDON: Dutch police who arrested a suspected drink driver on Monday found him carrying a license featuring the headshot and date of birth of former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The fake driving license, according to The Times, had a Ukrainian flag on it and was issued on July 24, 2019, the day on which Johnson won the Conservative Party leadership election. It was due to expire in December 3000.
Luxembourg-based journalist Kysia Hekster wrote on Twitter that fake driving licenses can be bought in tourist shops in Ukraine, adding that she had come across examples featuring former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Website Fake ID World currently charges €159 ($174.19) for a fake driving license.
The incident was investigated after midnight on Sunday after a car crashed in the city of Groningen in the northern Netherlands, said police spokesperson Thijs Damstra, The Guardian reported.
