The Guardia Civil and the
National Police Force have
launched a joint operation in
the province of Alicante aimed
at tracking down mafia gangs
living in rented
accommodation.
In an operation that first
started over six months ago,
but which has only recently
been disclosed, the security
forces have built a data base
after inspecting the identity
papers of all those renting
apartments or homes in the
province, focusing in
particular on the Vega Baja
and Marina Alta areas.
A spokesman for the Guardia
Civil also revealed that the
operation is being undertaken
"as much to protect the
general public from these
gangs as the owners of the
homes that are rented."
