Overview
- A Santiago investigating judge released three suspects after questioning, ordering passport withdrawal, a ban on leaving Spain, and monthly court appearances.
- The case centers on suspected repeated thefts and document falsification, and the proceedings remain under secrecy as inquiries continue.
- Monday’s operation brought more than twenty Guardia Civil and Tax Agency officers, with elite units and detection dogs, to search a Vilar de Calo home for hours.
- Searches extended to other locations, including Padrón, and non‑official sources point to a vehicle trading business and possible tax offenses under scrutiny, which authorities have not confirmed.
- All detainees are of Romanian origin, and the government’s regional delegate described the action as the result of prolonged work against organized crime.
