A 27-year-old German man has been detained in Gran Tarajal, Fuerteventura, charged with committing 32 counts of fraud. The German authorities had issued a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) for the suspect, seeking his extradition back to Germany to face trial for the fraud offences.
The Guardia Civil, acting on a tip-off regarding the man’s presence in Gran Tarajal, launched an investigation to confirm the validity of the allegations against him.
The suspect was found to be linked to several fraud cases reported to the Guardia Civil in Corralejo (Fuerteventura), Vecindario (Gran Canaria), and Costa Teguise (Lanzarote). As a result, surveillance of the individual was intensified.
The man was apprehended at his place of residence on July 15th and was subsequently transferred to the Gran Tarajal police station.
Following the completion of legal procedures and notification of the judicial authorities, he was presented before the court in Puerto del Rosario, which has since ordered his detention in prison pending further legal proceedings and extradition.
