Agents of the National Police arrested a 39-year-old lawyer as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of fraud against foreign citizens who sought to regularize their administrative situation in Spain, police sources reported in a statement.
The arrested person advertised his services on different social networks to attract clients who were seeking to regularize their situation in the country through a residence permit due to exceptional circumstances of employment.
According to the investigation, the detainee seized documentation belonging to a company that ceased its activity in 2014 to, on his behalf, carry out fraudulent registrations with Social Security. The victims reported that they had made payments to the detainee ranging between 300 and 4,000 euros.
