A Brazilian man has been arrested for using false identification with a picture of Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson, to open a bank account, Sky News has reported.
Police have arrested 41 year old Ricardo Sergio Freire de Barros in Recife, and he has been charged with forgery and making use of fake documents. Released images of the false identification show an image of Nicholson, but the signature of a "Joao Pedro dos Santos" coupled with a fingerprint.
"The document with the photo of the actor and other false identification were used to start a fictitious company - and with it also open a bank account," said Erivaldo Guerra, the investigative lead. "That way, he would use the limits on the cheques and the credit cards to steal money."
