The National Court has charged Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Guard David Oliva, former anti-drug chief of the Civil Guard for the Strait of Gibraltar, for crimes of disclosure of secrets and bribery for allegedly having pressured a subordinate to know if his presence at a party of the 'narco' was investigated, facts for which he is expected to testify tomorrow at the judicial headquarters.
As confirmed by sources of the case to Europa Press, this judicial decision is the result of an investigation that began last year the Internal Affairs Service of the Civil Guard.
Oliva would have pressured a lieutenant to know if Internal Affairs was investigating him for attending a 'narco' party, an investigation that, according to the aforementioned sources, were not being carried out.
However, Internal Affairs did notice these alleged pressures and began to investigate him for that. He also directed his investigations against that lieutenant and another, who are also accused of revealing secrets.
The crime of revealing secrets is charged with trying to obtain such information and bribery for guaranteeing that lieutenant, who finally would have provided him with some type of information, that he would pass from Internal Affairs to Anti-Drug.
Head of OCON
The pressures would have occurred during his time as head of the Southern Drug Trafficking Coordination Agency (OCON), created in mid-2018 as a leading unit in the fight against drugs and dismantled last September by the Ministry led by Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
The sources specify that both Oliva and this subordinate and the second lieutenant accused are summoned to testify on Wednesday, April 12 at the National Court.
The case, for now, remains secret as a separate piece of a broader investigation involving the Anti-Drug Prosecutor's Office.
