Spain: 27 nabbed in fraud case involving fake Peruvian diplomas
(SomaliNet) Twenty-seven people have been arrested, in a fraud case involving fake diplomas from Peruvian universities. Sources say some of them purchasers of the forged documents.
According to police, the forgers provided false diplomas for, among others, doctors, psychologists, engineers, architects and pharmacists. The documents cost 18,000 euros apiece and were shipped from Alicante and Malaga.
Several of those arrested had used the fake diplomas to gain work in private Spanish clinics where the tasks they have carried out included implanting silicone, injecting Botox and writing doctor's prescriptions.
