Breakup of forgery rings in Melilla with 34 arrests
The Spanish National Police in Melilla successfully dismantled two criminal networks specializing in facilitating illegal residence permits through document forgery and fake rental contracts. The operation led to the arrest of 34 individuals, while 62 wanted persons remain at large, and 21 national search warrants have been issued. The networks primarily targeted foreign citizens, mostly of Moroccan nationality, charging amounts ranging from 10,000 to 12,000 euros per beneficiary. Spaniards received about 2,000 euros, and fake witnesses earned approximately 500 euros per transaction. The networks relied on forged contracts, housing certificates, and official documents to deceive authorities into believing they had genuine living arrangements, thus meeting the requirements for residence permit issuance. Investigations are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects, as part of Spanish security efforts to combat illegal migration and document forgery.
