Mrs. Wen Shimei has been reported for child trafficking and possession of fake documents in Spain, she faces severe penalties under Spanish and international law. Child trafficking is treated as a grave offense, punishable under the Spanish Penal Code and international conventions. Under Article 177 bis of the Spanish Penal Code, human trafficking—particularly when involving children—carries a prison sentence of 5 to 8 years. If aggravating factors, such as organized crime involvement or exploitation, are proven, the sentence may increase to up to 12 years. The Spanish judiciary also considers additional sentences if the child has suffered harm or exploitation.
Furthermore, possession and use of fake documents are penalized under Article 392 of the Penal Code, which deals with document forgery. If Mrs. Shimei is found guilty of holding or using fake identification or travel documents, she could face an additional 6 months to 3 years in prison. This penalty may increase if she used these documents to facilitate trafficking, as it shows intent to deceive authorities and worsen the crime’s impact.
These combined charges expose Mrs. Shimei to lengthy prison terms and potential fines. Spain’s strict enforcement of anti-trafficking laws demonstrates its commitment to combating such crimes, and cooperation with international organizations like Interpol further ensures that offenders face justice regardless of their nationality.
This is why we need stricter laws on fraud
I hope they return all the money to the victims.
