The judge releases the former Anti-drug chief of the Civil Guard with the obligation to appear monthly

Agrees on the precautionary measures requested by the Prosecutor's Office for the lieutenant colonel and the other two defendants

MADRID, 12 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The judge of the National Court Alejandro Abascal has released Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Guard David Oliva -former Anti-drug chief for the Strait of Gibraltar- and the other two agents of the Benemérita investigated for alleged crimes of revealing secrets and bribery, according to sources familiar with the statements that took place this Wednesday.

In this way, the person in charge of the Central Investigating Court Number 1 has agreed to the precautionary measure requested by the Anti-Drug Prosecutor's Office, after listening for several hours to the version of the three investigated, who have denied the one offered by the Internal Affairs Service of the Civil Guard.

Sources in the case point out that Oliva is being investigated for allegedly having pressured a subordinate and the other lieutenant to find out if his presence at a 'narco' party was being investigated.

The three have appeared in the National Court as a result of an investigation that the Internal Affairs Service of the Armed Institute began last year as a separate piece of a broader cause that the Anti-Drug Prosecutor's Office is secretly carrying.

Oliva would have pressured the two lieutenants to find out if Internal Affairs was investigating him for attending a 'narco' party, investigations 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 it. He also directed his investigations against the other two lieutenants, equally equally for both crimes.

He is charged with the crime of revealing secrets for trying to obtain said information and bribery for guaranteeing that lieutenant, that he would have finally provided him with some type of information, that it would go from Internal Affairs to Anti-Drug.

The pressure would have occurred during his time as head of the South 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.

In the last hours, a record has been kept in which the lieutenant colonel and another of those investigated have voluntarily handed over their electronic devices to be analyzed as part of the investigations.
