The investigation, called Chaparro, has resulted in five people arrested - among whom is supposedly the former soccer player - and has been carried out for several months in different regions.

The investigations, as specified by the Armed Institute, began after the agents became aware of the existence of a

criminal network dedicated to the indoor cultivation of marijuana

in homes in the Malaga towns of

Antequera, Alcaucín and Periana

.

This organization, made up of people of Spanish nationality, had several homes where they could grow hundreds of plants in different stages of growth to be gradually distributed later.
