She registered foreigners in exchange for money, exploiting their lack of language skills and the fact that these procedures are free in Spain. This was the modus operandi of a 24-year-old Algerian woman who has been arrested by the National Police in Alcoi.
A warning from a well-known NGO in the L'Alcoià municipality, where an individual reported being defrauded and coerced by his former landlady, alerted the authorities. With the information gathered, the officers conducted inquiries to verify the facts, successfully locating the victim who provided crucial information to continue the investigation.
The victim told investigators that once in Spain, his landlady helped him stay in the country in exchange for money and deceit. She charged him over 800 euros for registration procedures and obtaining foreigner and health cards, as well as transport cards, among other free services.
When the victim learned that all the procedures for which the alleged fraudster had charged him could be requested free of charge, he confronted her. As a result, she evicted him from the property and threatened to report him to the police for being in an irregular situation and for gender violence, despite having no romantic relationship with him. Fearing her threats, he left the residence.
During the investigation, officers found another victim: an irregular foreign woman who rented the suspect's property. She told the officers that to remain in the country, she paid her landlady 1,300 euros for registration, foreigner and health cards, and other documents.
Regarding the property, officers confirmed that at least three more irregular individuals were registered there, despite never having lived at the address. These foreigners were also charged for these procedures.
Once the suspect was located, she was arrested for crimes against the rights of foreigners, fraud, and coercion. After police proceedings, she was brought before the duty magistrates in Alcoi.
