Police say they are investigating the sale of fake work contracts

Diario Sur, published in Málaga this morning says that local immigrant workers are paying for fake work contracts so that they can keep their Spanish residency. As the economic slowdown begins to bite locally, especially in the construction industry, it is immigrant workers who are in the front line, and non-EU workers are obliged to have a current work contract when they need to renew their residency permits.Police say they are investigating the sale of fake work contracts in the city for prices which range from 1,000 € to 9,500 €. Most of the contracts are for companies which are registering no activity.
