25 arrested in Madrid for million-dollar fraud in the capitalization of unemployment. 12 officials, managers and bankers involved.
The number of illicit files identified exceeds 400, formalized between 2020 and 2024. Among those arrested are four public employees and four workers from banking entities who received up to 50,000 euros annually. The investigation began in December 2022, after detecting irregularities in the activity of various employees dedicated to the processing of unemployment benefits. Once the profits of the scheme were secured, the beneficiaries transferred the committed amounts, entering the final section of the investigation.
