Spanish police say they’ve dismantled a criminal organization that was providing fake passports to migrants so they could enter Canada.

The operation facilitated mostly Yemeni migrants and involved more than 40 attempts to get into the U.K. or Canada on fake airline tickets and passports, the police said in an Aug. 4 news release.
