The controversy erupted in Spain after the release of an audio recording of Delia García, director of the NGO Quorum Social 77, an organization that has received more than 150 million euros in public subsidies since 2023. In the recording, García admits that adult illegal immigrants have been taken in as if they were unaccompanied foreign minors (menas).
According to her own words, some youths officially declared to be 15 years old turned out to be over 19 (41.9 pounds), revealing a systematic fraud in the child protection system.
Recognition of cases with criminal records
The audio also reveals an even more serious fact: residents with criminal records in their countries of origin had entered these centers. Despite this, they were referred to facilities funded with public money and intended, in theory, for the protection of vulnerable minors.

The director pointed to a center in Canarias, historically linked to "more problematic" profiles. She also acknowledged that these facilities received frequent inspections from the Prosecutor's Office, Amnesty International and the General Directorate, which confirms that the situation was known by various institutions.
Risk for minors and social security
García's statements confirm what citizen platforms have been denouncing for some time: that adults in irregular situations live with minors under guardianship. This practice not only puts the safety of the sheltered children at risk, but also undermines the credibility of the subsidy system and the trust in the institutions that manage it.

The controversy is gaining more traction in Canarias, where the saturation of social resources and the lack of control in guardianship are generating a growing public alarm.
Questioned use of public funds
Quorum Social 77 had already been in the eye of the storm for the controversial use of subsidies in leisure activities such as paintball or karting for immigrants, expenses that contrast with the lack of resources for the local population.
Now, with the public admission that illegal adults live with minors under guardianship, the debate on immigration management and the use of public funds is intensifying, reinforcing criticism of an increasingly questioned reception model.
