Everyone was their responsibility and had to collaborate with the rest of the people involved.
They acted as taxi drivers and errand boys. One of them, in his statement before the judge, recognizes it. He had to collect an envelope from the offices of Víctor de Aldama.

This same agent He acted as a taxi driver for Koldo García. He picked him up in Malasaña, took him to different places in Madrid, including the police station where they work, and finally dropped him off at the Chamartín police station. These were orders from their superior, everyone involved insists, and they followed them.
Several agents also recognize having made bank transfers, some of up to 2,500 euros, to Rubén Villalba. Some payments he later returned to them in cash. This is how he allegedly laundered the money he had received. And it is curious that all these transfers were made with similar “travel” concepts.
Another agent states that he accompanied Rubén Villalba to the door of the UCO offices. The reason was to investigate to see if anyone in the plot was already booked: “The response from this unit was that this person was an investigator and that caution should be exercised. Villalba offered his assistance in l investigation which was opened on this person.
Rubén Villalba also allegedly sent some of these civil guards to inspect the Aldama offices.. I wanted to know if there were any bugs. Even though the officer involved says it was a simulation and doesn’t remember which office it was.
