    The organized group was allegedly composed of Cuban nationals who charged between 1,000 and 1,500 euros ($1,340-$2,010) per forged document. They used a travel agency to attract potential customers, especially from among the Cuban community based in the Canary Island of Tenerife.

    Officers arrested 11 Cubans and three Spaniards in Tenerife and Madrid, a police statement says Sunday.
