Cayman Island Immigration officials are increasingly concerned about human trafficking, as a number of Chinese nationals attempted to enter the country using false Japanese passports. They came on a vessel from Jamaica, according to the local Immigration Department.
The chinese claimed to be tourists but didnt appear to be genuine. Their claim was that they had travelled by air to Jamaica and then taken a boat to Cayman on holiday.
Immigration chief, Franz Manderson said although the Cayman Islands have a fair amount of pleasure yachts entering the country it is very unusual for tourists to fly from the UK to Jamaica and then take a boat over to this island.
When the documents were further examined, it was determined the photos had been substituted in the Japanese passports and the group was refused permission to land into the county. They were returned to the country of origin, which in this case was Jamaica
