Overview
- In the province of Valencia, two men were arrested for enrolling irregular migrants in temporary-employment firms using borrowed identities in exchange for a €200 fee deducted from wages.
- The Valencia investigation began with a December 30 complaint at the Trànsits police station and was led by the Provincial Brigade of Immigration and Borders.
- One detainee is a crew foreman accused of brokering the falsified registrations while knowing the person on the payroll was not the person working.
- In Elda (Alicante), two brothers were detained after officers found at least 28 foreign nationals fraudulently registered at three properties where many had never lived.
- Investigators recorded a €650 payment for one false municipal registration, and both inquiries remain open with additional actions not ruled out.
