Dismantled an organization that facilitated the departure of migrants with false documentation from the Canary Islands.
The Civil Guard, in the so-called operation 'Sortie 23', has dismantled a criminal organization that provided false documentation to migrants in an irregular situation to travel from the Canary Islands to the Peninsula or to other countries of the European Union. The profits obtained by the organization exceed 100,000 euros.
In total seven people have been arrested: five in Murcia, one in Valencia and one in Huelva, for the alleged crimes of belonging to a criminal organization, against the rights of foreign citizens, falsification of documents and inducing minors to abandon home.
The detainees took advantage of the state of vulnerability of the newly arrived migrants in a boat to the Canary Islands by offering them false documentation and transfer to other parts of Spain or European countries, mainly Italy, in exchange for a significant amount of Money.
