International baby-snatchers . 
  The rings that bought and sold babies in Spain during the dictatorship and up until 1990 did not just traffic in Spanish children. The Civil Guard's Operacion Oculta uncovered  web that stretched to Morocco, where pregnan women were targeted to give up their babies to be bought in the Spanish penisula.

  How did the ring work? The Civil Guard has discovered 28 cases of Moroccan children being taken to Melilla and from there to the península, passed off as a future adoptees of Spanish couples.

 Who was behind the ring? The Civil Guard has identified 31 suspects.  . Among the members of the organitation, were those who targeted  the woman.  intermediaries , sellers, buyers. doctors and midwives . The ring was led by a couple from Ontinyent who looked for people who could not conceive..

 How were the children in Morocco obtained?    Disadvantaged expectant mothers  were contacted -such as prostitutes or house maids-  and offered a better life for their child. On other occasios babies were simply bought , sometimes for as little as 20€. The women  then taken to an apartement until
they have birth. The ring had three sisters born in Tetuán, two of which lived in melilla and the third in Morocco under a false identity, whose job was to find women in the advnced stages of pregnancy. It also had contacs a the Oujda and Nador  hospitals. 

How did they hide the children's real origin?  The ring brought couples looking for baby to Melilla where they delivered the child and put the parents in touch with a doctor or midwife who would provide a fake birth certificate for the Civil Registry. One such echange , involving María Jose, took place in a bar.
 Thus far, 14 stolen babies have been located by Oculta.
