The Office of the Algeciras Area Prosecutor , Juan Cisneros , has presented the appeal against the decision of the holder of the Court of Instruction Number 2 of the Line , Juan José Romero , who had decreed bail Francisco and Antonio Tejón , leaders of the Los Castañitas drug trafficking clan.

In the 12-page document and to which EL MUNDO has had access, the Prosecutor's Office notes, among other issues, that there is a risk that the Badger brothers "continue with their criminal activity and international contacts, being the example of them the fact that an Irish company has made the payment of the amount of the deposit of 120,000 euros, imposed on Francisco Tejón, "also refers to the Public Prosecutor's Office to the great heritage they hold or circumstances such as leadership of the organization and others that" have not been modified at all " .

The Prosecutor who has filed the appeal requests that the order of October 21 be revoked and that, again, provisional detention be decreed for the two investigated. Also, it requests the holding of a hearing to have more data on the situation in which the two alleged drug traffickers are currently, as well as that all the actions carried out for a complete and correct assessment of them are sent to the room. It should be remembered that the penalties with which the Criminal Code sanctions the crimes under investigation, public health, possession of weapons or belonging to a criminal organization, can reach 15 years in prison.

In addition to the detail of the Irish society that has faced the payment of the bond of one of the brothers, the Prosecutor's Office also points to another series of factors that it considers relevant to reject Judge Romero's decision.

Among these, he cites the "irregularity involved in the issuance of a single car for both of those investigated," stating that each one must have his or her own piece open and therefore should have been issued by each one.

Great heritage

Likewise, and despite the withdrawal of passports so that they cannot leave the country, the Prosecutor's Office emphasizes that in January 2019, the Hearing, issued a resolution concerning Isco Tejón in which the risk of escape is more than confirmed. "It is a person who has been searching for two years." That is why, the letter notes, that "you cannot compare your situation with that of others involved in the same case, in order to agree on your freedom." While a group was in prison, Badger was fleeing justice. Same situation that is also valid for his brother Antonio.

Another of the arguments mentioned in the appeal has to do with the economic situation of Los Castañitas . "The assets that are presumed to exceed 20 million euros.

On the other hand, the investigating judge admits the existence of a criminal organization, led by the two investigated, which has continued to operate continuously in recent years. "Leaving them free means an invitation to continue with their activity, since these are people who are not known as a lawful means of life."

Ultimately, the magistrate who has drafted the appeal highlights that in January and March of this year, the Hearing confirmed the precautionary measures in force, including preventive detention, assuming the thesis presented by the Public Ministry and that, at that time , the judge shared. "The car we turn now does not say, at any time, what has changed since then."
