Dismantled a criminal organization that facilitated the departure of migrants in an irregular situation from the Canary Islands.
Agents of the Civil Guard and the National Police in a joint operation, have dismantled a criminal organization based in Gran Canaria and dedicated to providing migrants with false documentation to travel to the peninsula or other States of the European Union. Among the migrant users of this network, numerous minors were detected to whom the members of this organization provided falsified documentation where they were listed as adults, thus achieving these and thanks to the logistics provided by this criminal network, escape from the juvenile center where they were housed and enroll in a flight.
A total of seven people have been arrested (six in Gran Canaria and one in Ciudad Real) and are charged with the alleged crimes of belonging to a criminal organization, against the rights of foreign citizens and falsification of documents. In addition, there is an eighth member of the organization, who is accused of the same acts and who is currently in prison serving a sentence for another cause.
In the operation, three addresses have been searched, in which passports fraudulently used by the organization have been intervened, files with documentation to regularize the situation of irregular immigrants, falsified official documentation and mobile phones, among other effects.
The organization recruited migrants, minors or adults, who had arrived on the islands by boat and detained them in different places, while preparing false documentation and all the necessary infrastructure for their departure. Once obtained, they were taken to the different ports and airports in the Canary Islands, providing them with the necessary indications to avoid detection. On some occasions, the
organization's pins accompanied them during the air or sea journey, thus ensuring the return of the documentation.
The connections of this organization with criminal networks based in Morocco and other States of the European Union were constant, offering among their services the freight by boat from Morocco to the Canary Islands for migrants who were on the African continent. They also diversified their work, taking charge of meticulously organizing fraudulent asylum requests, using a lawyer enrolled in criminal activities.
It is estimated that this organization would have organized more than 80 departures from the islands, having been arrested several of those who used their services with a false passport or in the name of third parties. The profits obtained exceed 100,000 euros.
