A chief inspector of the National Police amassed a large amount of cash in his home in Villalbilla (Alcalá de Henares), where he was arrested along with his wife, who is also a police officer, as part of Operation Augur. During a search that lasted nearly seventeen hours, 11 vacuum-sealed packages of 50 euros and another seven packages with bills of different denominations were found.
According to judicial reports, the former head of Money Laundering of the National Police in Madrid is charged with several crimes, including drug trafficking, membership in a criminal organization, bribery, and money laundering. It was discovered that he charged 40% to facilitate the entry of cocaine into Spanish ports, and it is estimated that the cash found on his property exceeds twenty million euros.
During the search, numerous packages of money were found in various parts of the home, from the attic to the garden, passing through storage rooms and sheds. Two crypto wallets were even mentioned. The bills were in different amounts and well stored, both vacuum-sealed and loose in shoeboxes and pots.
The former head of UDEF, nicknamed 'Customs' in coded messages, had been collaborating with a drug trafficking organization for years, receiving large sums of money as payment for his services. It was known that he controlled over 500 containers for the organization, obtaining million-dollar profits. His arrest took place on November 8.
The police records detail the arrangement of the money found in the home, from closets and bedrooms to the safe and sports bags. It is mentioned that bills of different denominations were found, including handwritten notes with the amounts contained in some packages.
Once arrested, the judicial sealing of the home was carried out by the Special Operations Group (GEO). The chief inspector and his wife were placed under police custody, ending an extensive investigation that revealed a web of corruption and criminal activities.
