A gang who supplied "golden ticket" falsified passports to fugitive criminals including murderers and drug dealers has been jailed.
Anthony Beard, who paid vulnerable people for their expired passports so he could apply for renewals using their names but criminals' photos, was sentenced to six years and eight months at Reading Crown Court on Tuesday.
He was jailed after admitting conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and conspiracy to make a false instrument with intent. Another 74 offences linked to fraudulent passport applications were taken into consideration.
