The anti-drug prosecutor has asked for 31 years and 6 months in prison for José Ramn Prado, known as Sito Mianco, and 9 years and 9 months in prison for Gonzalo Boye, known for being the lawyer of the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont.

The Specialized Prosecutor’s Office this week sent its indictment to the Central Investigation Court 3 of the National Court. In it, he accuses more than 50 suspects as alleged members of the organization led by Sito Mianco for alleged crimes against public health and money laundering, among others.

In the letter, to which Europa Press had access, the public prosecutor’s office also requested that a fine of at least 2.7 million euros be applied to Boye and more than 950 million euros to Prado Bugallo. This petition comes after the National High Court sent both of them to trial on November 18 for their alleged involvement in Operation ‘Mito’.

The prosecutor concluded that Sito Mianco, “for the purpose of introducing and distributing the drug, had a” necessary personal infrastructure” that had already accumulated “significant criminal experience in drug trafficking”.

All the defendants have an alleged relationship with ‘Operation Mito’, centered on the network allegedly directed by Sito Mianco and which tried to smuggle more than 4,000 kilos of cocaine into Spain without success in two different operations which were crushed by the investigators who has been following it on track since 2016.

As part of the document, the Public Prosecutor’s Office requested 22 years in prison for Luis Enrique García Arango –alleged right-hand man of Sito Mianco known as “el viejito”– and Juan Antonio Fernndez Fernndez –alias ‘nuria- -, to whom Prado Bugallo also confided the “details of the various criminal operations”.

THE BOYE CONTRACTS

In 179 pages, the Public Prosecutor described how, between 2016 and 2018, Sito Mianco’s main activity continued to be the introduction and distribution of narcotic substances in Spain, despite serving a sentence in the Algeciras prison.

As part of this alleged organization, Boye, currently free, was prosecuted for an alleged money laundering offence. All this for his alleged participation in the recovery operation of 889,620 euros that the police had seized from members of the Sito Mianco organization at Madrid’s Barajas airport.

These “human couriers”, who were carrying the money hidden in a suitcase to transfer it to Colombia, were arrested in February 2017 at Madrid airport. Then, according to the magistrate’s account, the ‘narcos’ would have contacted Boye and another lawyer, Jess Morn Castro, to prepare documents justifying the legal origin of the money.

Specifically, the Prosecutor underlined that Boye and other lawyers – to “prove the illicit origin of the seized money” – entered into contracts for the sale of bills of exchange. For the Public Prosecutor, “the alleged deal did not present any commercial logic”.

In this sense, the prosecutor underlined that Boye “presented these purchase and sale contracts in the administrative file knowing that they were false and that the sale and purchase transactions were fictitious, in order to recover the seized money and hide that they were proceeding”. of drug trafficking”.

Thus, Boye and two other lawyers will sit in court for their alleged involvement in the preparation of said documents and contracts of sale of bills to recover the money seized by the police.

CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION

In his letter, the Public Prosecutor’s Office identified Sito Mianco, who was in prison at the time of the events and who remains hospitalized for another conviction for money laundering, as the alleged head of that network.

This organization was mainly involved in the importation and distribution of drugs (especially cocaine) and money laundering. Thus, while some members of the network were exclusively in charge of facilitating the money in “b”, a third used false credits between relatives to justify the delivery of that money to their accounts, while another member used his security company to issue false invoices.

The Public Prosecutor ensured that Sito Mianco made drug trafficking his “modus vivendi” on an ongoing and stable basis, given that he was not only serving a sentence for a 2006 sentence, but also chained a previous conviction for a crime against public health. and “the slightest desire to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society was lacking”.

The Anti-Drug Department explained that “one of the main features that characterized the criminal network directed and controlled by Prado Bugallo was its eminently personal nature”.

As he underlined, “every single decision was taken or controlled by him, who, despite the limitations represented by his prison regime, exercised extreme control over the activity of his subordinates, in particular, as regards the confidentiality of communications between They”.

The exhibition “PAHO, El Roto, Rábago: a microhistory of the world” concludes this Sunday at the Guerrero Center

The exhibition ‘OPS, El Roto, Rábago: A Microhistory of the World’ closes its doors this Sunday at the José Guerrero Contemporary Art Center in Granada, dependent on the Provincial Council. This is a journey through the artistic career of satirical cartoonist and cartoonist Andrs Rábago through his three eternals: OPS, El Roto and Rábago.

The exhibition ‘OPS, El Roto, Rábago: A Microhistory of the World’ closes its doors this Sunday at the José Guerrero Contemporary Art Center in Granada, dependent on the Provincial Council. This is a journey through the artistic career of satirical cartoonist and cartoonist Andrs Rábago through his three eternals: OPS, El Roto and Rábago.

The exhibition contains the Dadaist gaze of OPS, which records in its drawings the unconscious of Francoism with a “hard and raw” vision close to black humour, as specified in a press release from the provincial body.

In general, the works represent the recurring motifs in Andrs Rábago’s production (family, birds, surveillance, figure of the double, wars, art, hats, etc.) and the connections between the three aspects of the artist. Themes appear identically ordered on each floor, but with different images that allow them to be explored, expanded or contrasted.

Regarding his work, Andrs Rbago indicated that he “was lucky enough to be able to work in complete freedom”. “I’ve never had any coercion or direction from the media at the places I’ve worked and I wouldn’t even have accepted it; looking back on it, the scale of all the work done makes my head spin a bit,” he indicated.

The shortest line of the underground network will become one of the most important of the Madrid underground in a few years. At least this is the objective of the expansion works of Line 11 which began this week and will continue for several years. The works should be fully completed in 2027 and the investment that will be made by the Community of Madrid is estimated at 1,600 million euros, although both the date and the amount could increase.

To begin this monumental project, the most important that Metro will undertake in the coming years, it was decided to start by joining the stations of Plaza Elíptica (one of the current sources of the L11) and Conde de Casal (L6). This first phase will cost more than 500 million euros and includes the construction of two new stops: Comillas and Madrid Río. Before reaching Conde de Casal, the new L11 will also pass through Palos de la Frontera (L3) and Atocha Renfe (L1). This first connection should be completed in the last months of 2026.

NEXT SECTIONS
The ‘simple’ and ‘cheapest’ part of the work is the one involving the southern section, which will cost around 75 million euros. The works should begin in the third quarter of 2024 and will consist of joining the sources of Cuatro Vientos with La Fortuna (Leganés). Much more complicated is the central section of the new line, which will cost 650 million euros to connect Conde de Casal with Mar de Cristal (L4 and L8) through the stations of Vinateros (L9), La Elipa (L2), Pueblo Nuevo (L5 and L7) and Arturo Soria (L4). These works will start at the end of 2024 and will end in the second quarter of 2027.

The same term is the one managed for the northern section of the route, which will connect Mar de Cristal with the new interchange located in the Valdebebas neighborhood through two stops, one located in the City of Justice and the other at Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas Airport. The estimated budget in this case is around 350 million euros.
