The National Police have successfully dismantled a criminal organisation operating in Benidorm that was involved in serious crimes including document falsification and money laundering. This significant operation resulted in the arrest of fifteen individuals and the seizure of numerous electronic devices and cash.

The investigation initiated after several reports were made to the National Police in the Hortaleza district of Madrid. When authorities began their inquiries, they identified the leader of the group, a Pakistani national, who was orchestrating the criminal activities, including the forging of documents and coordinating the release of high-end mobile phones.

Throughout the investigation, it was discovered that this individual had utilised a call centre service to unlock stolen phones and potentially gain bank access. The police carried out six searches in various locations within Benidorm, leading to the arrests of both men and women of Spanish, Pakistani, and Russian nationalities, with ages ranging from nineteen to sixty-one.

Authorities seized four hundred thirty-seven mobile phones of various models, along with laptops, hard drives, and substantial amounts of cash. The investigation remains open as the police work to uncover additional accomplices and establish links with other similar crimes across the region.
