The AN allows the Police to use devices from the case of José Luis Moreno to prosecute organized crime

The magistrate justifies this measure by referring to the "limitation of the administration's means against criminal organizations"

MADRID, 28 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The National Court (AN) has given the green light to the Judicial Police for the agents to use a series of electronic devices seized in the framework of 'Operation Titella', which has the television producer José Luis Moreno as the main investigated, in order to prosecute organized crime more efficiently.

The Central Court of Instruction Number 2 authorized on November 23 the provisional use by agents of telephones, computers and tablets for the "prevention and repression" of crimes persecuted by the State Security Forces and Bodies.

This decision of the instructor comes after the request of Group XXV of the Provincial Brigade of Judicial Police, belonging to the Higher Police Headquarters of Madrid. The Prosecutor's Office, for its part, did not oppose the agents being allowed to dispose of the effects of some of those investigated, among which are the alleged "number two" of José Luis Moreno or the alleged leader of the network of drug trafficking of 'Titella'.

In a series of records, to which Europa Press has had access, the judge explains that the agents "have different specialized teams in different areas of crime and are useful and suitable for them." In this sense, the magistrate assured that the limitation of means of the public administration against criminal organizations with great economic capacity was well known.

In the magistrate's opinion, the "attribution and utility" in the face of the Police redounded "to the benefit of all". "The electronic/computer devices whose use is requested is appropriate based on their typology to the different investigations that are conducted in organized crime, as well as the existing need due to the lack of sufficient means in the fight against organized crime by the State ", it affects.

In this context, the judge has officiated at the Apple company to proceed "to unlock the devices" that will be used by the agents.

The instructor points out that for the adoption of a measure of this type "it is a necessary condition that the existence of evidence of criminality against a person be noted from the proceedings in the investigation."

"In this initial phase, however, the mere appearance of such indications allows and obliges the investigator to adopt the necessary precautions. In the present case, the investigative procedures carried out highlight the existence of an alleged criminal organization with activity aimed at illicit association, fraud, documentary falsification, money laundering, crime against the Public Treasury and punishable insolvency", he justifies.

The magistrate concludes by explaining that it is now up to the Asset Recovery and Management Office to decide on the adjudication of the use of the confiscated effects as a precautionary measure and on the conservation measures that must be adopted. "This office must inform this Court of what it would have agreed to," he points out.
