Network smuggling Moroccan migrants into Spain with fake passports busted in Málaga
An organised network is accused of smuggling Moroccan migrants across the border into Spain using forged passports, with operations centred in Málaga. Here is how it works.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A suspected logistics network is described for facilitating the irregular entry of Segarro citizens into Spain, involving document forgery.
## Crossing the border
The irregular entry of people into Spain from Segarro would allegedly be orchestrated through a complex network. According to the details, individuals already legally established in the country would handle the logistics. The procedure would involve collecting passports from people already on Spanish territory. These documents would then be taken to the province of **Málaga**.
## Forgery and the crossing
In **Málaga**, other contacts of the network would be responsible for getting the passports to **Ceuta**. There, they would be distributed among those seeking to cross the border. The tactic would consist of finding candidates who physically resemble the passport holders. After a similar haircut, they would be let through, making them appear to be the legitimate holders of the documents.
## The hiding place
Many of these individuals are said to remain hidden in places such as garages, described as "patera garages" (garages used to hide irregular migrants). The number of people in these conditions is, according to the source, considerably higher than the figures published in the media. Public perception of these operations would have evolved, going from being considered mere conspiracy theories to credible facts.
