SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 12. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The National Police has arrested six people as alleged perpetrators of crimes of belonging to a criminal organization, favoring illegal immigration and false documents, who were dedicated to offering false documentation to immigrants in an irregular situation in exchange for amounts of around 3,000 euros.
The operation, called Operation Daya, began as a result of some residence files in which signs of falsification of documents were found. After carrying out investigations, the National Police discovered the existence of several fictitious companies, without any activity, that were dedicated to falsifying employment contracts, registrations and any other document that was necessary to prove the requirements demanded by current legislation on foreigners.
Thus, they captured immigrants in an irregular situation, to whom they offered to obtain a residence permit due to exceptional circumstances due to social roots, providing them with false documentation in exchange for large sums of money of around 3,000 euros.
Behind these companies were the alleged perpetrators, a sentimental couple formed by a Moroccan and a Ukrainian, and four other people, legal residents in Spain for several years. All of them have been arrested and brought to justice.
In total, 38 fraudulent files have been identified that have already been sent to the Government Subdelegation in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in an investigation carried out in collaboration with the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate and the Single Office for Foreigners of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
