They each pocketed €7,500 and agreed not to intercept the shipment from Morocco. The members of the Guardia Civil also kept the criminals informed of police patrols. They are now set to stand trial in Malaga after being caught by a special investigation into police corruption. According to the prosecutor, the Guardia Civil’s internal affairs service began an investigation to ‘uncover police corruption activities by members of the force linked to criminal organisations trafficking in narcotic substances’. This began with one agent and led to the discovery of others, ‘forming an organised and hierarchical group whose purpose was to help traffick narcotics’. Thus, these agents ‘would provide security at the time of carrying out the criminal act’, as they allegedly ‘took advantage of the time when they were carrying out their police service to allow the unloading of drugs, to inform about service devices, timetables and places of patrols’. One of the civil guards was allegedly in charge of contacting the criminal organisations concerned and of coordinating and directing the work to be carried out with these networks, “setting prices according to the services required”, says the prosecutor. The other two agents “collaborated with him, carrying out his orders and obtaining his economic compensation for such activity”. https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2021/07/05/corruption-police-officers-in-southern-spain-busted-over-pocketing-e7500-each-to-ignore-drug-shipments-from-morocco/ |

When you see money that's way more than your salary being handed to you easily, it's hard to turn it down. Drug dealers make LOTS of money, it's hard to turn down their bribes, especially if they can get violent if you do. "Plato o Plomo". A Mexican cartel once promised to brutally kill 2 officers per any of their cartel member arrested. They hung the heads of their victims on highways. They kidnap and torture officers for fun 'cause the cartel has their home address. Imagine! 2 Likes |

ChiefSosa:In Spain or South America? I'm not saying Spain is Disney World, but I wouldn't compare it to Colombia, or Italy even. And it seems like chocolate is a bit bigger than fariña, which can mean very different levels of violence. |

Cousin9999:It's a Mexican cartel. Violence does vary, both internally and externally. You know they have to deal with the authorities, fellow cartels, territories, street gangs, leadership tussle within cartels, etc They acquire power, money and respect through violence. 1 Like |

Sunnybay7:lol smh It's not funny though because the guard is in more depressed areas, and they're helping criminals thrive. That means less investment in those places. These are also not just police; they deploy. It's just wrong. 1 Like |
