English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Spain's National Police are running an operation into the suspected illegal housing of more than 60 migrants in a house in the El Príncipe neighbourhood of Ceuta. The operation has so far led to one arrest.

The Central Unit against Illegal Immigration Networks and Document Fraud (UCRIF Central) is leading the operation in the **El Príncipe** neighbourhood of **Ceuta**. Initial reports, published by **Ceuta Televisión**, put the number of people housed in a single property at more than **60**.

## One property, one arrest

The operation has so far resulted in **one arrest**. Sources familiar with the operation confirm that the investigation is ongoing and further arrests cannot be ruled out as proceedings advance.

The National Police will not issue a press release until **Wednesday**, when more details are expected on the scope of the investigation and the responsibilities being examined.

## What is the UCRIF

**UCRIF Central** is the police unit specialising in illegal immigration networks and document fraud. Its involvement in this case points to an investigation into suspected illegal housing, not a routine immigration check.

The case affects migrants in a vulnerable situation. Any information about incivil responsibility is provisional until the investigation concludes.
