SPAIN/ALGECIRAS (Agencies) Five people of Nigerian nationality were arrested recently as the result of a police operation that implicated fraud on banks in Zaragoza and Soria to the tune of at least several tens of thousands of Euros carried out with the use of false credit and debit cards. The operation involved the Judicial Police force from Alcalá de Henares and Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid), Soria, Córdoba, Algeciras and Zaragoza, the latter being the gang's main area of operations and where they managed to obtain some €70,000 from two banks.> Their MO consisted in opening a current account at a branch office and request a sales terminal unit (STU, for reading and charging credit cards at establishments) for a non-existant travel agency, from which they charged monies on false credit cards. The two principal members of the gang were arrested in Madrid, the other two in Córdoba, while they were trying to obtain money from a building society.
