Arrested in Fuerteventura, as part of a network, in the Malecón operation.
Eight people arrested for being part of a criminal organization that falsified residences due to family roots and Spanish citizenship.
The National Police of Spain, together with the Immigration Offices of the different Subdelegations of the Government, discovered the network in an Operation that they called "Malecón". Those involved charged between 6,000 and 10,000 euros for the false documents, which granted Cubans the right to residence for being alleged children of Spaniards.
According to the media Diari de Tarragona, the criminals "offered a service consisting of the search for an identity of a Spanish citizen to pretend to be their father and the elaboration of false birth certificates for their clients."
Authorities analyzed a group of residency and nationality applications from several Cubans who had posed as children of Spanish citizens of origin and detected the fraud. Spanish citizens "whose identity would be usurped in order to simulate the aforementioned family relationship, would already be deceased, thus making it difficult for official bodies to prove said relationship," the newspaper says.
Members of the organization first looked for Cuban clients, then requested birth certificates from dead Spanish citizens and simulated the parent-child relationship between them and Cubans, and then falsified the birth certificates of those interested in the process.
"Of the eight arrested in Tarragona, two would be responsible for the network and the other six presented the false documentation to achieve nationalization," the publication said.
