The incident occurred when the two men attempted to present falsified documentation and impersonate a third party. The goal of this maneuver was to regularize their administrative status in Spain, an attempt that was thwarted by the swift action of security forces at the municipal facility.
The coordination between the Local Police and the National Police was decisive in detecting the fraud as it was taking place. This collaboration between different security forces is, according to police sources, a fundamental pillar for ensuring legality and safety in the municipality.
“"We maintain zero tolerance for document fraud and any illicit action against current legislation."
Identity theft and the use of forged documents before public bodies are criminal offenses under Spanish law. Following their arrest, the two individuals have been placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authorities to answer for their actions.
