The Spanish Civil Guard has arrested an employee of a book distribution company who made tens of thousands of dollars from an illegal book trade. According to 'Antena 3' station, the employee, along with two other individuals, managed to steal a large quantity of books over several years by exploiting his position. His accomplices sold the books through an online platform, generating a profit estimated by police at around 400,000 euros (approximately $458,000). According to the Madrid Civil Guard command, the investigation began after the book distribution company filed a complaint about the loss of numerous book copies over several years. The investigation uncovered the existence of this alleged criminal group. While the company employee was stealing the books, the other two were selling them through the online platform. The three individuals were arrested on March 11 on charges of repeated theft and belonging to a criminal organization.
