The Mossos d'Esquadra police force has arrested a 47-year-old woman and her partner in Amposta for allegedly defrauding nearly 40,000 euros from several homeowners' associations in la Ràpita.

The investigation began after several community presidents reported unauthorized bank transfers. The manager allegedly moved money from community accounts to her personal accounts or to other properties she managed to hide the fraudulent activity.
Police identified multiple cases during 2025, including one community where over 10,500 euros were stolen through fifteen fraudulent transfers for services never performed. Another group of residents was overcharged for three years, resulting in a loss of 6,300 euros.
The suspects face charges of unfair administration, misappropriation, fraud, and forgery of documents. Investigators believe there may be more affected communities in the Montsià region.
