Woman with case full of lingerie refused entry
13.04.09
A Brazilian woman suspected of being involved in the sex industry was refused entry to the UK at Newcastle Airport after border officials discovered her suitcase only contained three T-shirts and a dressing gown, plus a large quantity of lingerie, the Journal reports.
When the 32-year-old woman arrived on a flight from Geneva and told UK Border Agency officers that she was only on a four-day visit. However, she could not say what she would be doing in the UK other than 'seeing Newcastle city centre’. Checks revealed that she had been refused entry to the UK at Belfast City Airport 3 months ago - although she concealed this by replacing the passport containing the refusal stamps with a new Brazilian passport.
The woman was refused entry at Belfast in January because Border Agency officers became suspicious over her vague reasons for coming to the city and conducted a baggage search. This revealed a collection of sexual paraphernalia including a diary / address book containing details for numerous male contacts, escort agencies and sex websites. She initially denied being in the sex industry, but eventually admitted her intention to provide ‘escort services’ and she was removed from the UK.
Border Agency officers at Newcastle Airport again refused the woman entry to the UK. She was returned to Geneva the same day.
