Illegal Immigrants

some gang members were on Interpol's wanted list.

Like many other Western countries Spain has its problems with illegal immigration and happily this week the police have arrested a particularly nasty gang of Romanians. Not only were this group responsible for many robberies of both houses and businesses in the area, but they were also running a business falsifying documents to regularise an illegal immigrant's situation here in Spain.

The police found the gang in their La Nucia HQ in possession of money, stolen goods, and a sophisticated laboratory to falsify passports, identity cards and official documents such as work permits, and they also found that some gang members were on Interpol's wanted list.
