There have been more arrests on the Costa del Sol as part of the police operation in Torremolinos and Benalmádena against an illegal immigration network, which last week saw at least 12 arrests. One was a national police officer.
More than twenty police and Civil Guard took part in the swoop on Thursday last week.
The three latest arrests reported by Málaga Hoy this Thursday all work in the real estate sector, and are said to be linked to two estate agencies searched in the first phase of the operation.
The arrests took place this past weekend, with no news yet on whether they still remain in custody. The newspaper said those arrested in phase one were released with charges on Saturday.
The network is believed to have charged large amounts to allow Moroccan migrants to get papers in Spain, although reports indicate that they were all wealthy and had no need to work.
