Agents of the National Police belonging to the Local Brigade of Foreigners and Borders of Puerto del Rosario in Fuerteventura, in the operational and strategic framework of the fight against irregular immigration and organized crime, have carried out operation "NÁUFRAGO", an investigation that has made it possible to dismantle the operational structure in Spain of an international criminal organization dedicated to the smuggling of migrants from Morocco to the Canary Islands along the Atlantic route.

The Police operation began after the location of two immigrant victims of the network, who agreed to collaborate with justice under the condition of protected witnesses.

Based on his statements, a Moroccan citizen residing in Fuerteventura was identified, directly linked to the leadership of the organisation based in Morocco, specifically in the areas of Tan Tan and El Aaiún.

A violent and hierarchical network with its own means

The investigators accredited the existence of a stable and hierarchical criminal structure, made up of Moroccan citizens with clearly defined functions (recruitment, transport, collection, logistics, piloting and control).

The network had all-terrain vehicles, inflatable boats and weapons, which allowed it to simultaneously carry out different actions in the irregular area.

Migrants were embarked without life jackets or security means, and were subjected to violence, coercion and humiliating treatment, in extreme conditions.

One of the witnesses said that the main perpetrator in Spain threw three migrants into the sea during the crossing, who have since disappeared, and that he physically assaulted the victims.

Another of the witnesses identified the same individual as the pilot of the boat and in charge of collecting payments from the migrants, confirming his central role in the operation.

Connection to another previous investigation in April 2025

Through the analysis of social networks and open sources, investigators determined that this operation is linked to another investigation carried out in April 2025, in which another member of the organization, currently in pre-trial detention, was arrested.

Both individuals maintained a close personal and operational relationship, confirming their membership in the same transnational criminal network.

Arrest and imprisonment

The final phase of the operation took place between October 8 and 9 in Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura), culminating in the arrest of the main perpetrator in Spain, a 22-year-old man of Moroccan nationality, for the alleged crimes of:

Membership of a criminal organization
Encouraging illegal immigration
Homicide
Serious threats
Failure to provide assistance
Once the Police proceedings were completed, the arrested man was placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority, who decreed his entry into provisional detention.

The structure dismantled in Spain

With this operation, the National Police has completely dismantled the Spanish cell of a major transnational criminal organisation dedicated to the illegal smuggling of migrants along the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands, reinforcing its commitment to the fight against illegal immigration networks and the protection of victims.]]>

In a statement, the Benemérita explained that the Events took place in the early hours of September 26 when a group of tourists returning to their hotel complex after leaving a well-known entertainment venue was intercepted by three individuals, one of whom tried to snatch the bag that a young woman was carrying on her shoulder.

However, the victim's resistance initially frustrated the action, although the assailant increased the violence; while when a friend came to her aid, the suspect tripped her and pushed her to the ground, at which time he managed to steal a high-end mobile phone, valued at 770 euros.

As a result of the attack, the young woman suffered a fracture of the radius of one hand; and after consummating the robbery, the aggressor fled accompanied by the other two involved.

For their part, the agents who were on preventive duty in the vicinity and who had seen the suspects moments before, quickly went to the scene to help the victim and collect essential information.

With this initial data, the investigators later managed to fully identify the alleged perpetrator, linked to both the consummated assault and the attempted robbery.

Three days later, at around 1:30 p.m., a new citizen alert led to another Police intervention when a passer-by reported that a young man had tried to steal his skateboard, valued at 820 euros, which was parked in front of a shop on Avenida Alcalde Juan Ramón Soto Morales.
Upon noticing the manoeuvre, the owner confronted the assailant holding the vehicle, at which point the perpetrator brandished a stone in an intimidating manner to force him to let go. When he refused, he attacked him with the object causing minor injuries, and then fled.
In this sense, the quick action of the patrol made it possible to locate him just fifteen minutes later in a nearby field, where he was fully recognized by the victim as responsible for the robbery with violence and injuries. The agents proceeded to arrest him, which also links him to the violent acts committed days earlier in Caleta de Fuste.

According to the DGT, safe driving depends on adjusting speed, selecting the correct lane, and always signalling clearly before changing direction.

Key guidelines from the DGT:

Approach with caution: Reduce speed and give way to vehicles already using the roundabout.
Right-hand lane: For taking the first exit or continuing straight ahead.
Left or central lane (when multiple lanes exist): For taking later exits.
Signal correctly: Use indicators to show your chosen exit, moving to the correct lane before leaving.
Avoid sudden braking or unnecessary lane changes, which increase the risk of accidents.
Fines for roundabout offences:

Crossing from the inner lane directly to the exit: Considered reckless driving, €500 fine and 6 penalty points. Exits should always be taken from the outer lane.
Entering without giving priority: A common serious offence, €200 fine and 4 points (more if reckless).
Changing lanes incorrectly or without signalling: €200 fine (with points if dangerous).
Excessive speed inside a roundabout: Up to €500 fine and 6 points if deemed reckless.
Ignoring pedestrian crossings at exits: €200 fine and up to 4 points.
The DGT stresses that roundabout discipline is essential for reducing accidents and ensuring safer roads for both residents and visitors across the Canary Islands.

Two homes of those under investigation were entered and searched, in which 3,651 grams of hashish, 1,066 grams of cocaine, 445 grams of marijuana, 47 anabolic pills, €39,164 in cash, knives, material and utensils for cutting and weighing drugs were seized, as well as two vehicles used for distribution.

Once the Police proceedings were completed, the detainees were placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority, which decreed the immediate imprisonment of the two main suspects.

With this operation, the National Police dismantled a drug trafficking network that operated in Puerto del Rosario, managing to eliminate two active points of sale in the town, and continues its work in the fight against drug trafficking on the islands.]]> https://fuerteventura.click/Thread-The-City-Council-will-soon-enable-20-parking-spaces-in-Caleta-de-Fuste Fri, 19 Sep 2025 08:30:26 +0000 Johnrgby]]> https://fuerteventura.click/Thread-The-City-Council-will-soon-enable-20-parking-spaces-in-Caleta-de-Fuste • The temporary intervention allows beautifying, taking advantage of and giving security to this main area of Caleta de Fuste.
