The investigation, conducted by the Provincial Judicial Police Brigade of Las Palmas, began on July 7, 2023, following a complaint from a sector company that detected contracts formalized without the consent of the alleged account holders.

Police inquiries uncovered a total of 239 fraudulent contracts, created using third-party personal documentation, including DNI (Spanish national identity cards) and bank certificates, some manipulated and others directly falsified. In certain instances, up to 36 contracts were registered under a single person's name, highlighting the scale of the deception.

The arrested individual, who worked as a commercial agent in the south of the island, offered supposed discounts to obtain personal and banking details from victims. With this information, he generated phone lines, processed number portabilities, and financed the purchase of products such as high-end electronic devices, small appliances, and personal mobility vehicles.

These products were delivered to the arrested person or his associates, who then sold them through unofficial channels to gain financial profit. To complete the deception, in some cases, they impersonated the victims during product reception or contract formalization, even forging signatures.

In addition to the main suspect, the investigation has implicated three other individuals—one man and two women—for their alleged involvement in executing the scams or in receiving and selling the illicitly obtained products. The case remains open, and further arrests are not ruled out.
