Mérida Another national police detained in the anti-drug macrooperation: there are already six agents arrested
And they have to start from the beginning.
The feeling of desolation in the police station of
Mérida
is enormous after
Operation Peces
swept the entire unit dedicated to the fight against drugs like a storm.
“We have to start from scratch.
We have to create a new group.
And we have run out of the informants that the Police had.
They are all burned.
The lament is enormous in the Extremaduran police structures and in the general direction itself.
It is common, as these sources point out, that among police officers - it is a workforce of more than 100,000 officers, including police and civil guards - isolated cases of corrupt agents appear.
But it is not usual for an entire unit to fall and less than the one that fights against drugs.
The operation is not closed and continues under summary secrecy. In the last hours, another involved in the operation led by the
Internal Affairs Unit
of the National Police together with the
UCO
of the Civil Guard
was arrested
. It is a national police that provides service in the capital of Extremadura. At the last minute she was released on charges. With it, there are already six agents arrested - the entire
Narcotics Brigade of
the Merida police station - to which must be added an agent of the Civil Guard. In addition, in the last hours another series of arrests have been made, so the total sum so far has already reached 30 people, including one arrested in
Fuenlabrada
(Madrid).
The agents are accused of the crimes of bribery, disclosure of secrets, infidelity in the custody of documents, influence peddling, failure to prosecute crimes, concealment and criminal organization.
The detainees are scheduled to go to court today, in
Court No. 3
of Mérida while they are still arrested at the
Almendralejo
police station
, about 20 kilometers from the capital of Extremadura.
In total 3,000 marijuana plants were intervened in four
indoor
plantations
.
The Government delegate in Extremadura,
Yolanda García-Seco
, said yesterday that it is a "very complex" operation and "there are still entries, searches and arrests." The first data was obtained two years ago in the town of
Torrevieja
(Alicante), specifically in September 2019, by the UCO, where a gang of drug traffickers was being followed. In this municipality the proceedings by an investigating court began, which later have led to the province of
Badajoz
.
According to sources of the investigation, the detained agents of Mérida are implicated not only for turning a blind eye to the drug traffickers, but also for creating their own drug plantations in the region of the capital of Extremadura, including in premises and homes in their neighborhood. property, where police records have also been carried out in recent days, such as in
Esparragalejo
, where the detained Civil Guard agent carried out his work.
The delegate wanted to send "a lot of encouragement" to all the national police officers and the civil guards of
Extremadura
, who do a "magnificent" job every day.
