The
Madrid Prosecutor's Office
has requested the
imprisonment
of dancer and choreographer Rafael Amargo and his partner for the alleged
commission of drug trafficking crimes and belonging to a criminal group,
tax sources have reported.
The artist and his partner were arrested last Tuesday within
Operation Corax
.
The
four arrested
were transferred this Thursday to the Plaza de Castilla investigation courts.
The judge has only taken statements from two of those investigated and is expected to order the dancer and the other detainees to be put in prison.
National Police officers also arrested a close friend and the producer of the play
Yerma
,
Eduardo Santos.
As soon as he left the La Latina Theater rehearsals, the artist was arrested and taken to the cells of the Leganitos street police station, in the Centro district.
In the searches of two homes, one of the artist's and the other of its producer, the Police found
60 grams of methamphetamine,
40 of ketamine, three cans of Popper, several sachets of mephedrone, a sachet of 2CB and two small cans of GHB -fluid ecstasy-.
There was also a box of Propandrol brand testosterone and a blister of Viagra;
in addition to a small weight, 8 mobile phones (one of them old technology) and almost
6,000 euros in 100, 200 and 500 euro bills
.
The lawyer
Cándido Conde Pumpido
pointed out on his arrival at the courts that it would be "complicated" for the dancer to premiere his new work
Yerma
at the La Latina Theater, which
has
finally
been suspended
although the rest of the functions are maintained.
In the afternoon, the defense attorney stated that the narcotic substances found in the register of the artist's home
were not intended for drug trafficking
, but for his own consumption.

"There are no weapons, there is no criminal organization, and there is no structure,"
said the lawyer upon his arrival at the Plaza de Castilla investigating courts on Thursday, where a statement was taken from the dancer and the other three people arrested in
Operation Corax
.
The lawyer has insisted that the drug found in Amargo's house is for his consumption and has separated him from the rest of the substances seized in the registry of the other house, owned by another of the detainees.
As for the state of the dancer, he has indicated that he is "quite nervous,
outraged with the situation"
and "believes that the damage is irreparable despite the fact that he manages to prove his innocence."
The
Operation Corax
has been carried out
by agents of the Narcotics Group of the Central Police Station at the
request of the Prosecutor 's
Office and Drug Task
Force Madrid Magistrate's Court number 48 of Madrid, which instructs the proceedings.
