More than a year ago, a woman reported to the Palafrugell Citizen Assistance Office that someone had drawn up a rental contract for an apartment owned by her husband, even though he had been dead for some time. What she didn't know at the time was that this suspicion would eventually uncover a network of fraudulent family reunifications and document forgery. An investigation by the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) and the Palafrugell Local Police resulted on July 30th in the arrest of a 57-year-old man for allegedly committing 23 crimes against the rights of foreign citizens and another 23 for falsifying public, official, or commercial documents.
