• Hemeroteca.'Caso Uniformes': 'As he finds out about the false deliveries, he goes to the Civil Guard'

The Internal Affairs Unit of the Civil Guard has detained a colonel and a lieutenant colonel for tricks on the contracts of the body uniforms, sources close to the investigation have informed Efe.

These are Colonel Juan Antonio Maroto and Lieutenant Colonel Alberto Martín Altube , responsible for the Recruitment Service of the armed institute, the sources said, indicating that five other people have been arrested in the Grapa operation .

This intervention is related to the one carried out in 2017, when 14 people, most of them officials, were arrested for rigging public contracts both in the General Directorate of the Police and in the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT).

Of those 14 detainees, six were police officials - not all officers of the body -, one from the DGT and seven other businessmen who would have benefited from contracts drawn up by a plot that favored awards in exchange for money or payments in kind.

After that 2017 operation, the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office continued with the investigations. The Internal Affairs Unit of the Civil Guard also investigated these events and detected various anomalies that have led to the arrest of these body controls.

As part of this operation, carried out this morning, eight searches have been made, most of them in the Community of Madrid , carried out by Internal Affairs by order of the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office and the 50th Investigating Court of Madrid , according to sources consulted.

The investigators' investigations focus on the alleged rigging of public tenders in the General Directorate of the Civil Guard, where a group of officials allegedly colluded with companies that were the beneficiaries of awards of various contracts, including body uniforms. .

The investigated facts could constitute alleged crimes of criminal organization, influence peddling, embezzlement, fraud against public administrations, prohibited negotiations with public officials, prevarication, bribery and money laundering.
