Operation Oikos.Carlos Aranda: a good heart very badly surrounded
Carlos Aranda
, a former Real Madrid veteran and former player of several Spanish football teams, including
Numancia, Villarreal, Sevilla, Osasuna and Albacete
, has been arrested again after being acquitted
of money laundering
in an operation for cocaine trafficking and being being
investigated for alleged match-fixing
through sports betting.
As EL MUNDO has learned from sources close to the case, agents of the
Civil Guard of Coín
(Málaga) link it to a network allegedly dedicated to the indoor cultivation of marijuana hidden in homes in the province.
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.
The buildings had all the infrastructure, means and adequate systems for the cultivation of the plantations and were also
illegally connected to the electricity grid
.
In the five searches carried out, some 700 marijuana plants were seized, approximately 20,000 euros in cash, as well as six vehicles, computer equipment, mobile phones and various documentation.
Both
Aranda
, who has the record of being the footballer who has played in the most professional teams in Spain, and the other four defendants are accused of crimes against public health, belonging to a criminal organization, fraud of electricity and document falsification .
