Spain: Police are arresting Polisario separatists in their communities.

 Spanish media reports that the national police (Policia nacional) has launched an investigation and detained several Polisario bureau employees suspected of falsifying illegal immigrant regularization applications in Spain. In its publication on December 3rd, the daily Al Ahdath Al Maghribia reported that those accused had taken use of their position as spokespeople for the fictitious organization to engage in this traffic. The same sources state that after discovering the dissemination of dubious documents, a brigade of law enforcement officers monitored and followed the movements of several of this bureau's administrators.

Given that several people detained admitted to having obtained forged documents in exchange for money paid to the two officers running the Polisario bureau. As per the Spanish media, those implicated have been questioned, while others have been called to testify before investigators. Their offices were raided by the police, who proceeded to seize a number of tools and papers used in the creation of residence cards as well as the paperwork required for their acquisition.

The newspaper Al Ahdath Al Maghribia notes that videos posted on social media show members of the Spanish national police raiding the Polisario office in Madrid and escorting some of its employees to the commissariat. The initial findings of the investigation suggest that several networks were involved in this activity and that some documents bearing the addresses of institutions and government entities in the southern provinces were utilized in this traffic.

It is possible that Moroccan authorities will get involved in this investigation to pursue those responsible for the fraudulent use of official documents bearing the royal seal. A report that was corroborated by the media said that Moroccan and Spanish documents intended for use in entering the Schengen area had been forged.
