ARCHIVED - Three members of network introducing irregular immigrants from Algeria arrested in Fuente Álamo
The gang arranged transport in patera taxi type boats which were met on the Spanish coastline and their occupants assisted to reach their final destinations
The Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization based in Almería that brings illegal immigrants from Algeria to Spain, and has arrested three people from the Region of Murcia for alleged crimes against foreign citizens and belonging to a criminal group.
This type of organised and co-ordinated trafficking has become increasingly common in the last few months and there have been several “waves” of small boats coming from Algeria, spreading the resources of the coastguard too thinly, arriving simultaneously in Alicante, Murcia and Almeria this summer.
