The arrested police chief used football VIP boxes for his business and also traded VTC licenses issued to taxi drivers, reported Vozpopuli.
According to the publication, the police chief not only kept tens of millions of euros hidden within the walls of his home, but he also had dozens of VTC licenses, and another 1 million euros were found in his office. Investigators established that this chief inspector was a regular in the VIP boxes at the stadiums of “Real Madrid” and “Atletico de Madrid,” where he is suspected of conducting business.
Surveillance of the head of the economic crimes department of the National Police Headquarters in Madrid had been ongoing for several weeks. The news of his arrest caused great surprise among the police. The operation was conducted by the internal investigation department. The court handling the case detained the commander and his wife. The judicial proceedings were declared secret, and the operation is ongoing with further arrests not ruled out.
Investigators suspect that this commander was involved in trafficking drugs seized during operations, which brought him considerable profit. Another surprise for the police were the VTC licenses. It is currently unknown whether he sold these licenses on the black market or if they were a front for some other business.
