Last Friday, November 15, the Internal Affairs Division (DAI) arrested DGV, an agent of the Mossos Abduction Unit of Esquadra. They accused him of providing cover and selling information to a drug gang that operated in Sabadell (Barcelona), but the head of the city’s Court of Instruction 4, in a car to which ABC had access , released him, after that as part of the search. From his home, nothing was found that linked him to the gang, whose two main leaders were placed in temporary prison. “This is not the story of a boss infiltrating the Mossos,” explains his defense, provided by Álvaro Machado, of Vosseler Abogados. The judge’s decision, which prohibits the investigated police officer from leaving Spain and sets a fortnightly appearance in court, indicates that the investigation, “so far”, confirms the existence of a criminal structure, led by a couple responsible for supplying cocaine and marijuana, as well as several subordinates. After that, they laundered the drug money by buying luxury apartments and cars. Mosso’s role, according to investigations, would be to “ensure the security” of the structure “in exchange for money”, which he denies. The DAI investigation began after, as part of investigations into the drug gang, officers detected DG as he concluded the purchase of a vehicle – a BMW – with one of its members. The Mossos in charge of the case thus discovered that he was a colleague from the Corps and he came under their radar. Among the evidence to be collected, several queries were made in the police database (SIP, Generalitat Police Information System), regarding the procedures of some of the subjects, but “without any relation to the case drug trafficking”, it is specified. the lawyer. But with a case of domestic violence and consultation of license plates and addresses. “They took him for granted for having made two requests in the SIP,” he complains. And, as the lawyer points out, the agent does not have authorization to consult files in which he is not involved – the database is restricted, precisely, to avoid leaks. According to his defense, DGV met certain members of the organization – without knowing that they were drug traffickers – in “party” environments, after having separated. In this environment, he would have bought cocaine on a certain occasion, like that found during the search of his home, for his own consumption “in a festive context”. On the other hand, at the home of the trafficking couple, agents located a marijuana plantation, 330 grams of cocaine, as well as several packages containing ketamine, MDMA and more than 500,000 euros in cash. Also on its premises are three firearms, a banknote counter and a precision scale. Additionally, the order states “accounting entries which include ‘payment of 1,000 to the police’.” Related news standard No Mossos foil kidnapping of man and woman from Barcelona apartment where “tools and weapons” were found Elena Burés A surgical intervention by the GEI, the elite police group Catalan, resulted in the release of the hostages, of Chinese origin, like their captors. “Hence the accusation of providing them with a security blanket… they have nothing,” emphasizes Machado. “A certain bravado,” he said on the phone, “but in the criminal field, you need evidence to prove it, and that doesn’t exist,” he emphasizes. In the traffickers’ houses they found weapons, a huge quantity of drugs and cash, but not in the premises of the DGV. For the moment, the criminal proceedings being opened, the administrative file is pending. But the agent’s intention, once it is closed, is to return to his post. He is now suspended as a precautionary measure, resulting in the withdrawal of his weapon and his badge. His lawyer believes that the case will also not prosper due to a possible revelation of secrets due to his queries in the police database, since they were not linked to the drug trafficking case , and “because at no time was collective security put in danger”. “. He also points out that the majority of intercepted conversations between the police and the gang members referred to parties in their apartment. And he reiterates that the police officer was unaware that they formed an organization dedicated to drug trafficking. For his part , the judge ruled out his imprisonment because he is “Spanish”, has a “stable job”, owns real estate and has no criminal record “He. there is no risk of repeat offenses or destruction of evidence, since he has been removed from his position.”
