The proceedings were initiated in June 2012, when the Civil Guard of Murcia had news of a perfectly organized criminal group and hierarchical, settled in the town of Aguilas (Murcia) and branches in the provinces of Alicante, Almeria and Madrid , who allegedly was involved in the commission of crimes related to drug trafficking, especially cocaine liquid, high purity and huge black market value.
A true "cartel" Hispanic drug, organized and hierarchical
The criminal group, which operated as a true "cartel" Hispanic comprising members of various nationalities-Bolivian, Colombian, Brazilian and Spanish-was perfectly organized and hierarchical, and adopted various security measures to avoid detection by the researchers.
A novel structure kept horizontal, opaque and difficult to unravel, being very scrupulous and wary when choosing their partners, and did not hesitate to resort to extortion, violence and the intense scrutiny of all of them, using techniques imported mafia crankcases of "narcos" American.
In every criminal group which plays a specific role, according to his figure within the organization.
Different roles within the organization
The "host" or "coach".
Person travelers captured or "mules" who were sent to South America, carefully selecting candidates in Eagles after convincing them to travel and be able to introduce drugs in Spain.
They came to "adecentarlos" by providing new clothes and giving them a look that did not raise the suspicions of officials responsible for air traffic control.
They were responsible for making the "TEST" to travelers.
The test consisted of several dozen swallow condoms filled with water and control the time it takes them out of the body, must exceed 15 hours to ensure the long plane ride and transoceanic road trip from Barajas to the town of Aguilas.
The "mule".
Person who, in exchange for several thousand euros, traveling to South America to ingest solid or liquid drug into small pieces, or hide it in your luggage or clothing.
He could go as slang, "SLEEVE" (way to hide the drug sheet attached to the body like a second skin) or "swallowed" (ingesting liquid or solid drug before being expelled).
This practice is very dangerous and threatens the life of the mule, since in case of breakage of one of the condoms inside the stomach, it causes death by overdose in minutes.
In the police operation have been intercepted three mules, two "swallowed up" and one "banding".
In the first case, which occurred in September, one of the detainees, of Bolivian nationality, was intercepted by the Guardia Civil in the T4 terminal of Barajas, on a flight from Lima (Peru), when carrying concealed inside his stomach , 26 condoms containing more than one kilogram of pure liquid cocaine.
The "chef".
A person who knows how to manipulate the drug to transform it until it is safe to drink.
This task is performed in so-called "laboratories", hidden in the homes searched both Eagles as Alicante, where they have intervened presses, cutting substance to adulterate the purity of cocaine and gain weight.
Among the highlights intervened substances liquid cocaine, which requires that the "cook" you add a "secret chemical reagent" for each organization without which it is possible to transform it into cocaine use.
This is intended that, in the case where it is subtracted by another group (frequent activity), cocaine can not be transformed into solid powder, to be consumed.
"CRUSHING".
Person who works with minor efforts, but are risky, since they are responsible for tasks such as sending money from the parlors, buy plane tickets for the muleteers, housing them in hotels, move in their own vehicles, etc.., exposed to all detainees to be identified more easily and presenters, bosses, or cooks.
The criminal group disbanded, recruited the "mules" in Aguilas, which were moved by "machacas" to Madrid, where they were received by other members of the organization that kept staying at a hotel in the capital until they were shipped in the flight to Peru, Argentina and Colombia.
Once at the airport, were back for a reasonable time staying in a hotel, receiving a steady flow of money through shipments from Alicante Eagles and booths to ensure a comfortable stay.
However, maintaining a strict control over them until "swallowed" and were shipped cocaine bound Barajas, which were again greeted by members of the group and immediately transferred by road to Eagles, where they were to deliver the drug once expelled from your body.
