64 irregular workers identified on the construction site of a hotel in Manacor
During the course of the inspection, a total of 384 workers belonging to 42 different companies were identified
PalmThe National Police has carried out an inspection at a hotel under construction, where it identified 64 workers who were in an irregular situation in Spain, for which reason they were summoned to police facilities to initiate the relevant opening proceedings.
During the course of the inspection, a total of 384 workers belonging to 42 different companies were identified, who were carrying out work in a hotel. Once the data of all the workers were verified, it was confirmed that out of the total identified, 64 were in an irregular situation and three workers were arrested for having false documentation.
The inspection was carried out last Wednesday by agents of the UCRIF, the Provincial Brigade of Immigration and Borders of the National Police, jointly with the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate, as well as UPR units, at a hotel renovation site in Manacor. Likewise, it was verified that three other workers, all of them Pakistani, were carrying false documentation, for which reason the three were arrested as alleged perpetrators of a crime of document forgery.
According to the data obtained, the sanctions that could be imposed on the companies where some of the irregular workers were located could far exceed 640,000 euros, not counting the possible sanctions for having legal Spanish and foreign workers, but without the due contract and registration with Social Security, so that this amount could increase exponentially.
These results are described by the investigators as a success and a further demonstration of the importance of the joint and coordinated work carried out by the National Police and the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate in the fight “against irregular work, the defense of workers' rights, and the unfair competition represented by companies that do not comply with the law”.
