Angolan mother and daughter deported after visa fraud at Frankfurt Airport

Federal Police at Frankfurt Airport stopped two Angolan nationals from entering Germany after uncovering visa fraud. The pair, a 38-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter, had presented German Schengen visas for tourism. Authorities later found the documents were obtained through deception.

The investigation revealed that the woman, whose name has not been disclosed, had applied for the visas with the intention of securing permanent residency in Portugal for her daughter. The girl’s father, identified as Nicolò C., had allegedly not given genuine consent for her travel. Instead, his approval was falsified in the application.

Both individuals were immediately detained, and their visas were revoked. Criminal proceedings were launched on suspicion of visa fraud and document falsification. The same day, they were deported back to Luanda, Angola. As part of the penalties, the two were issued entry and residence bans, preventing future attempts to enter the Schengen Zone.

The case highlights the consequences of falsifying travel documents for immigration purposes. The suspects now face legal action in Angola, while German authorities have blocked their re-entry. Their visas remain invalid, and further attempts to enter the Schengen area will be prohibited.
