The Mossos d'Esquadra police force identified six individuals aged between 24 and 35 for using fraudulent technological devices during a driving theory test in Tortosa on March 5th.

The cheating method involved hiding mobile phones and small cameras under clothing to broadcast the exam to an accomplice outside. This person would then provide the correct answers through tiny earpieces worn by the candidates during the test.
Following the police intervention, a seventh person fled the room after throwing away their exam papers. Those identified face a 500 euro fine and a six-month ban from retaking any driving license examinations.
