According to the National Police, they created a total debt to their victims of approximately 12,000 euros.
The agents began the investigation after receiving a complaint from one of the victims, who had received a letter of payment from the financial company at their home for failing to pay the fees at an aesthetic clinic in the city of Alicante.
When the National Police investigated this first complaint, they realized that it had not been a specific crime, but that there was every criminal group that was operating in the same way.
Therefore, they began to investigate the crimes of fraud, documentary falsification and identity theft perpetrated by at least five people, four women and one man.
Arrested for financing aesthetic treatments with the identity of others
The members of the organization obtained the National Identity Document of their victims, apparently, either by buying it from other members of the organization, or by stealing it, and once in their possession, they used it to finance expensive aesthetic treatments in a clinic in the city of Alicante.
So far, the agents of the Economic and Fiscal Crime Group of the Alicante Provincial Judicial Police Brigade have managed to clarify five criminal acts, since the detainees used the documents of five victims to carry out the crimes.
Those arrested, for the crimes of fraud, identity theft and documentary falsification, are four women and one man, aged between 20 and 45 years.
