There is a lack of more resources, both material and human, in all the security forces and bodies that fight against drug trafficking in the Campo de Gibraltar. More judges and prosecutors who are also specialized and also equipped with better tools. And new rules of engagement both at sea and on land that protect civil guards and police from an “unequal” fight in which the bad guys have shown that they do not turn around and leave, but rather confront and confront each other. until you go over it.
The above is a brief summary of the reflections that, while drying tears, were listed by a few officials from the Civil Guard and the National Police who yesterday said goodbye in the cathedral of Cádiz to one of the two officials murdered in the port of Barbate when the zodiac in which they were patrolling was hit by a drug boat.
The cathedral became too small at ten in the morning to accommodate the wave of personalities, but above all of colleagues, who paid tribute to Miguel Ángel González, agent of the Underwater Activities Group (GEAS) in Algeciras. The investigators of the judicial police of the Cádiz command are in charge of the investigation and of specifying in a report that each of the eight detainees made that Friday night in the port of Barbate. A report that this Monday they will deliver to the judge of Barbate along with those arrested who since the moment of their arrest have been in the cells of the Algeciras command, where they refused to give a statement.
The eight arrested are from La Línea de la Concepción, for the peace of mind of the residents of Barbate who since Friday insisted that it was impossible for these “savages” to be from the town. Assuming, of course, the atrocities that came out of the mouths of the many who entertained themselves from the ground breakwater cheering and olés, while they immortalized the crime with videos.
As the hours go by, more details of what happened become known. It had been almost a month since the first of the rubber boats had arrived at the mouth of the port seeking shelter from the storm. It was anchored to one of the buoys and from time to time the Civil Guard inspected with the drone that it was empty and without activity. But then another one arrived, and another one until six that gathered last week. They had been going back and forth through the mouth for three days at full speed, playing with each other and recording videos that they shared on networks.
It was at that moment that a succession of telephone calls began between politicians that ended in the Civil Guard who decided to get them out of the mouth. The intention, the same interlocutors assure, was neither to detain anyone nor to identify them, but to force them to leave.
The sea, especially rough and without visibility, prevented the Civil Guard Maritime Service boats from sailing and it was decided to send the GEAS semi-rigid boat in their rescues to try to scare them away.
“No one ever imagined that drug traffickers would do what they did,” all sources insist. The civil guard in command of the boat managed to turn to the right, convinced that the criminal would brake or avoid them. But he accelerated and passed over them, staining the sea with blood.
