The Municipal Police discovered last weekend in a Santeria on Amor Hermoso street in the Usera district (Madrid) human remains that were in a kind of sanctuary along with sheep horns. These are
four tibiae corresponding to four different individuals that were covered with blood and bird feathers
. In the premises there were also remains of exotic animals that were supposedly used to make and sell potions and ointments without any sanitary registration.
The intervention in this establishment on Amor Hermoso street took place on Friday afternoon by agents of the Office of Citizen Services of Latina and Usera. In a first visual inspection, the police officers were able to determine that
the human remains were "long bones with a glenoid cavity, inner tube and medial malleolus."
Inside the premises there were also remains of animals used for "magical and ritual purposes," according to the regent of the premises.
Specifically, they found
aquatic turtle shells protected by the CITES convention,
marine coral, shells and seeds of
abrus precatorios
, which contained the abrin toxin that can kill a person with a dose of three micrograms.
It is a very toxic product, both by ingestion and by direct contact with a skin wound, which is prohibited by the Ministry of Health.

Random samples of cosmetics that were made in the back room and that lacked health registration were also located and extracted.
These products were made by
mixing various products with hydrogen peroxide, distilled water, alcohol, and soaps.
They were introduced in smaller jars for marketing on the shelves in the sales room with various labels.
In total,
1,476 items that were traded illegally
were immobilized
.
The action was undertaken by the agents of the Municipal Police Station 3, within the Christmas campaign carried out by the Madrid City Council to protect citizens in their purchases.
The agents have also informed the Ministry of Finance in case any of these products is the result of smuggling;
to the National Police and the Community of Madrid in case they violate different regulations;
and they have sent the seeds to the municipal Consumer Office for study.
The agents have sent the human remains and the expert report to the Forensic Archeology laboratory
of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University.
The owner of the establishment,
a Cuban woman, is
going to be investigated for an alleged crime of fraud and also denounced for having protected animal objects.
