Two charged with identity theft via Tuenti

LA LINEA (Agencies) Two women, aged 19 and 20 were arrested as the suspects in a case of identity theft when they created a profile on Tuenti (a social network much in favour by Spanish youth in which Telefónica has a large share). They used the name and photographs, as well as other identifying features of a minor, and used obscenities on the profile they created. The National Police managed to trace two computers via their IP address to two friends of the minor, who had reported the incideent. The older women are 'at the dispoal of the courts'.
