On October 10, officers from the National Police apprehended a man for suspected involvement in facilitating irregular immigration and document forgery.
The situation unfolded with the large-scale registration of foreign individuals at the same address in the municipality of San Miguel de Abona, located in the south of Tenerife. Those involved paid fees ranging from 200 to 350 euros, despite not actually residing in the property.
This investigation commenced in April 2024 after authorities received reports about a Spanish national registering numerous individuals at their home address.
As the necessary inquiries were carried out, it was discovered that the arrested individual utilised the registration certificate in an attempt to regularise the status of these foreigners. Up to 64 people were registered at the property, which was not an actual residence for any of the applicants.
Consequently, the investigation concluded with the apprehension of the individual, who was then handed over to the relevant judicial authority.
