Jail sentence for Chinese national who booked flight under a different name
A Chinese national breached an immigration condition and was in possession of a passport relating to somebody else.
Ming Jun (50), with an address listed as Abercorn Street in Belfast, committed offences on September 17.
He appeared at Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday. He was on video link from prison where he had been on remand.
A prosecutor said a British national and the defendant were intending to go from Belfast International Airport to Stansted Airport.
Jun was carrying a Chinese passport in a different name - the name which was used to book the flight.
The defendant admitted he met the other person the previous week to plan entry into the UK and then met again when he was provided with a passport.
The court was told the defendant is a "failed asylum seeker". He had been on remand in custody since September.
An interpreter was at court to assist the defendant, who has been given a four-month jail term.
