The National Police has arrested a person in the province of Tarragona for defrauding more than three million euros with the fraudulent sale of VTC licenses in Madrid and Barcelona.
As reported this Friday by the National Police in a press release, the detainee had managed to defraud more than 3,000,000 euros in Madrid and 150,000 euros in Barcelona, ??for which he is charged with the crimes of continued fraud, document falsification and usurpation of civil status.
The detainee impersonated the real identity of the license holder and managed to change it in the name of the new buyers, who paid amounts exceeding 50,000 euros for it and who in the end did not receive it or receive the money back, since a single activity authorization he even sold it on several occasions to different people.
Some of the victims had even financed the purchase of a vehicle to use as a VTC, so these events leave them in a precarious situation.
The investigation has made it possible to determine that the alleged perpetrator had already committed similar acts, since at least since 2021 he had been acting in the Community of Madrid and in recent months he had moved to Barcelona to continue scamming with the same “modus operandi.”
After his identification and location, the alleged fraudster has been arrested by the National Police in the province of Tarragona.
