So far this year, a total of 782 people have been caught at Las Americas International Airport with false visas to visit Spain. According to Diario Libre, this leads authorities to believe that there is a gang of counterfeiters at work. Most of the people apprehended presented themselves at the Air Europa counter and were detained by members of the SERVAIR security service. Nowadays, instead of trying to fly to the United States, people with counterfeit documents are trying for Europe. An average of three people a day are being detained for investigation regarding their fake visas. Officials are also on the lookout for documents purported to be from Venezuela.
