The Police High Command and US authorities are investigating a suspected human smuggling ring operating in Jamaica.
The probe was launched last week after two Albanian students were arrested at Norman Manley International Airport in possession of stolen US passports.
They were preparing to board a flight to Canada when they were arrested.
They were using fake names.
The two Albanians, 25 year old Limos Selimi and 21 year old Arjana Hortay appeared before the St. Andrew Parish Court on Thursday where they pleaded guilty to uttering forged documents and forgery.
They were each fined $200,000 or six months in prison.
It was revealed in court that the two Albanians arrived in Jamaica on legitimate Albanian passports last month and were allowed to stay in the country until May.
Investigations revealed that they paid persons in Jamaica US$15,000 for the American passports which were stolen in the United States and ended up in Jamaica.
Officers at Norman Manley International detected the discrepanies in the passports last Sunday.
It is understood that US law enforcement is trying to determine whether an international human smuggling ring is operating in Jamaica.
Parish Judge Vaughn Smith ordered the deportation of the two Albanians.
