- Malaga: The bloody history of the civil guard who bought a castle as head of a drug gang
He played the lottery five times only in 2011 - he located the tenth prize winners at a hairdresser in Zaragoza -. He set up a huge motorcycle circuit, the Temple of the Motor, in Malaga , exclusively as a money laundering machine. And a scrapping. And a label company. And another bright. And diverted funds to the Isle of Man . And so he bought, for 50,000 euros, a house-castle (not a real castle, of the ancients) in Coín , valued at 895,000 euros. Thus he washed the money from his real activity, at least between 2007 and 2017: drug trafficking.
All this follows from the investigation of money laundering of the Internal Affairs Service of the Civil Guard on Amador Pérez Luque , the agent who now sits on the bench accused of being the intellectual author of the murder of Lucía Garrido , on the Los Orange trees , April 20, 2008.
The Tax and Internal Affairs Agency have submitted to the judge a joint report in which the income and 1.6 expenses of Pérez Luque are estimated at 1.2 million euros, plus an appraisal of real estate assets that could approach the two millions. Something that, of course, with a salary of conventional civil guard could not have the accused.
Among the singular details, a 98,000 euros music equipment, bought in the name of a Moroccan citizen, is cited: the civil guard was protected with frontmen and there were always others who bought, which greatly hindered the investigation. Not surprisingly Amador knew perfectly the methods of investigation of his companions, and that made everything much more difficult.
In the report on money laundering, adhering to the procedure 184/2017 that is being followed against him in the Court of Instruction number 3 of Coín (Málaga), and to which EL MUNDO has had access, the researchers analyze the impossible heritage amassed by a civil guard that never rose on the scale, so that his salary did not rise from around 1,500 euros, but that he accumulated an enormous wealth until causing loss in the body, in November 2015, for loss of "psychophysical conditions", shortly before being arrested by the Internal Affairs Service of the Benemérita accused of having ordered the murder of Lucía Garrido.
How could Pérez Luque play the lottery five times in 2011, as the Civil Guard maintains? The civil guard won in the same raffle five winning ballots with 25,000 euros each. The agents detected, in a habitual practice of laundering linked to all types of corruption, that a person located, in a hairdressing salon in Zaragoza, a graceful with the prizes, and bought them, the usual practice in these cases. The man turned out to be brother-in-law of a member of Amador Pérez Luque's band.
A report by the US drug agency, the DEA, placed Pérez Luque in drug trafficking since at least 2010, strengthening ties in 2014 with well-known drug traffickers such as Robert Dawes and Max Richard Charles Paul , to provide both the infrastructure to receive with impunity in the port of Algeciras a drug game.
The same happened with the British agency investigating organized crime, the National Crime Agency or NCA. This service also sent to Internal Affairs information related to drug traffickers Waterfield, Paul and Dawes, who said that one of them was the intermediary between the other and a "corrupt civil guard." That guard was Bernardo Arrabali , another of those arrested in this operation called Telaraña, where it is easy to get lost among his many threads.
Another agent mentioned in that NCA report was precisely Amador, the leader of the band and the graceful with his tenth lottery.
Its mansion-castle in Coín is nowadays almost a point of tourist attraction, even more with the bloody history behind it.
According to the Internal Affairs investigation, Amador and his gang are involved in at least four murders, but also in drug trafficking, in drug dumps, in bribes and prevarications, trade in exotic animals, kidnappings, extortion, rigged subsidies and of course the laundering of the mentioned report.
This money laundering has several legs: in the real estate, in addition to the ostentatious castle-dwelling of Coín, there is a "luxurious and spacious" house in Alhaurín el Grande , which includes a motocross circuit, leisure area and guest residence in a farm of one hectare In the business leg, in addition to the screen companies he used to, for example, become a promoter of the construction of his Malaga Xanadu, he joined a capitalist partner in a motorcycle scrapping, mounted a circuit of minimotos in Trévenez (with the company Team Lince Racing SL ), in addition to several UTEs.
Everything was completed, as is the case with many of those who have black money, with huge cash expenses, which in the end is the most obvious way to give out money that cannot be in the bank.
