Overview
- Guardia Civil officers executing operation Kaut arrested two Rois residents and searched their home, seizing 227 prepared heroin doses, 4,000 marijuana doses and two short firearms; the suspects face charges for drug trafficking and illegal weapons possession.
- Investigators say the pair used daily vehicle routes to sell drugs across nearby towns to hinder police controls, a tactic uncovered after a follow-up probe to an earlier local operation called Patineta.
- A separate Pontevedra case remains at pretrial stage after prosecutors accused a man and a woman of transporting one kilo of cocaine and asked for eight and seven year prison terms respectively.
- In Mallorca the Audiencia de Palma sentenced a Guardia Civil informant to eight years in prison and a €1.5 million fine after finding he stole more than a kilo of cocaine from two traffickers and concealed that theft when reporting to officers.
- The cases underline the Guardia Civil’s regional anti-narcotics work, show how ambulant sales and cross‑regional routes complicate policing, and signal further legal steps and possible appeals ahead for the defendants.
