The Prosecutor's Office asks to file the case that led to the AN investigation against the former head of Anti-drugs in the Strait

Urges to send the separate piece related to Oliva and two Civil Guard agents to an ordinary court

MADRID, 4 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Anti-drug Prosecutor's Office has asked the National Court to file the case that led to the investigation against Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Guard David Oliva --former Anti-drug chief for the Strait of Gibraltar-- and two other agents of the Benemérita for alleged crimes of disclosure of secrets and bribery.

As El Independiente has advanced and legal sources have confirmed to Europa Press, the Public Ministry has urged the archive of the main investigation while requiring that the separate piece relating to Oliva himself and the two agents of the Armed Institute be sent to a court Ordinary.

The aforementioned investigation was initiated last year by the Internal Affairs Service of the Armed Institute as a separate piece of a broader case that the Anti-Drug Prosecutor's Office is secretly handling.

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.

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, also 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.

The judge agreed on April 12 to release but with the obligation to appear monthly both Oliva and the two agents. That decision, made at the request of Antidroga, came after listening to the version of the three investigated for several hours.
