The acquittal of a Civil Guard colonel associated with drug traffickers makes the Supreme Court blush

• Interior A Civil Guard colonel occupies an official pavilion despite being prosecuted for drug trafficking

The acquittal of former Civil Guard colonel

, tried for drug trafficking and bribery at the Granada Court, left

almost everyone

and has caused blush in the Supreme Court. How was it possible that the proven facts of the sentence recognized that he

and facilitated the entry of three cache of hashish from Morocco and was totally exonerated?

Now, the Supreme Court, in a ruling known this Tuesday, has annulled that controversial acquittal of the Second Section of the Granada Court and has ordered that the case return to the moment of the deliberation of the Granada magistrates after the trial and write again sentence. It does not spare qualifiers against a failure, which lacks "all logic and rationality" and

.

The High Court's ruling is devastating. He assures that the proven facts are

and are of an

, since the former colonel was the highest police officer in charge of the criminal repression of drug trafficking. Francisco GS was the chief commander of the Judicial and Information Police of the Granada Civil Guard in 2005 and 2006, when the events took place.

Despite this, he agreed with some drug traffickers to introduce two cache of hashish of 2,000 kilos, "in which the defendant would be in charge of

interception of the drug by agents of the Civil Guard, with assurance of the effective entry of drugs to be destined for its subsequent distribution and sale, "as the judgment of the Hearing declared proven.

They also agreed on a

small

, destined to be apprehended by the Civil Guard, "in order to justify the two previous phases in which hashish from Morocco would be allowed to enter", as the proven facts also indicate .

"In execution" of the plan designed between the months of February to March 2006, a boat arrived and managed to introduce "an undetermined amount of bundles, which are taken to an unidentified place.

, present at the landing,

on the orders of the accused ", includes the ruling of the Hearing.

That drug was never recovered.

Subsequently, there was a

, which was not detected by the Civil Guard, although the former colonel indicated to his subordinates and to the head of Customs Surveillance "that the second phase of the operation had also been carried out."

This hash was also not located.

Almost four tons of hashish

The third phase of the plan drawn up by the then Civil Guard command with the drug traffickers was carried out on May 2, 2006. Then, 3,986 kilos of hashish intervened, "

, nor did the names of the participants in the landing ". Some fled in the boats in which the drugs were transported, but there was a narco who came to transport the hashish in his vehicle, drove behind the commander and then fled.

To acquit Francisco GS, the Court argued that the weight of the first two drug landings that managed to enter the coast of Granada had not been credited.

"Consequently, it is not possible to apply the special type of special gravity and the crime

", says the sentence.

Both the Prosecutor's Office and the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC), which is in the case as a popular accusation, asked that the crime against public health be considered

, something that depends on the amount of substance trafficked.

The judges of Granada indicate that this aggravating factor should be applied when the amount of substance "notably exceeds that considered to be of notorious importance", without going into figures. If this had been the case, the statute of limitations for the crime would have been

and, then, the colonel could have been sentenced.

Regarding the third drug landing that was intercepted, the Court says that "it is not typical of the crime against public health because

, but rather to be intercepted by the Civil Guard, according to the existing pact" and plan drawn up by the police command, indicates the Hearing. "Consequently, there was no intention of favoring the illegal consumption of narcotic substances," the Court settles in its acquittal.

For the Supreme Court, this argument

.

A logical construction "would lead us to the conclusion" that, if almost four tons were intercepted in the third operation, in the other two, in which the defendant "arranged" with the drug traffickers, the amount would be "significantly higher."

"It causes a certain embarrassment to declare proven that the third drug delivery was

, from which it could never obtain benefit, in the case of conduct framed in a trafficking operation, therefore, in favor of it," says the ruling of the Supreme.

The former colonel was also tried for bribery, accused of receiving 120,000 euros from the drug traffickers.

The Court acquitted him for the

of the testimonies that incriminated him, but the Supreme Court now says that this conclusion "is not logical either" and requires "an argumentative effort greater than the lack of credibility."

Now, the Hearing must issue a new sentence.
