The Civil Guard has arrested in Calpe a Spanish woman of 23 years as alleged perpetrator of a crime of simulation of crime after having placed a false claim assuring that she had been kidnapped and held in an abandoned house for a whole day.
The events occurred a few weeks ago when a man denounced before the Civil Guard of El Vergel that his wife had disappeared, since he had left the previous day to go to work in Villajoyosa but had not returned. The husband could not contact her because the phone did not give a signal and she did not know the place of work because it had only recently begun.
The Civil Guard began its search immediately, interrogated neighbors, acquaintances and relatives but did not get any clues. Just the morning after the denunciation of her husband, two days after the disappearance, the woman went to the barracks of the Civil Guard of Benissa to say that she had been kidnapped.
Version of the facts of the complainant
The woman stated that on the same day of her disappearance, when her working day ended, while waiting at the bus stop a white SUV, with three men inside, approached her and forced her to
get inside Then she was taken to a stone house in an open field, her purse was taken, and she was forced to drink a glass of water containing a drug that made her numb.
The next day she woke up and those men put her back in the car, abandoning her on a road in Villajoyosa. She wandered as best she could until she reached the bus stop and returned home. The woman declared to be under the effects of the substances that had administered to her and that she did not remember anything of what had happened during the hours she was in the stone house.
The Civil Guard transferred the young woman to the hospital so that the doctors performed a complete examination and analysis. Although the results of the tests were negative, near 10 agents of the Civil Guard continued with the investigations over nine days.
But the investigation of the Civil Guard has revealed that, apparently, this woman had left with friends, voluntarily, and the outing was extended for two days, so he devised the story of the kidnapping so that her husband did not know what it had really happened.

The judicial authority has decreed his release, with the obligation to appear in court, and may be punished with a prison sentence of six months to two years.
