The Civil Guard plans to make available to the Courts this Monday around 10 a.m. from Barbate (Cádiz) to the eight arrested for the death of two agents of said armed institute in the port of said municipality, when they were run over by a drug boat while participating in an operation against drug trafficking. The actions, let us remember, are being instructed by the mixed Court number one of Barbate.
Between the Eight detainees include the six crew members of the drug boat. This is a 46-year-old resident of La Línea de la Concepción identified as FJMP and known as “Kiko el Cabra”, with a history of resistance to authority, disobedience and money laundering and who allegedly piloted the drug boat; JIAB, 39 years old, with no criminal record but numerous infractions, almost all for possession and consumption of narcotic substances; MC, 24 years old and with no criminal record; and three other crew members, aged 21, 24 and 28, with a history of drug trafficking, attack on an authority officer, injuries, crimes against property and money laundering; now facing two alleged crimes of homicide and serious injuries to law enforcement agents.
All of them would be Spanish nationals except MC, 24 years old, who is a Moroccan subject, as reported by the Civil Guard.
The others two arrested were going to pick up the boat’s crew in a vehicle after they ran the boat aground on a beach in La Línea. They are 34 and 54 years old and are also Spanish, with a history of drug trafficking and smuggling, facing alleged crimes of concealment and serious resistance to authority due to these new facts.
The deceased agents are Miguel Ángel González Gómez, 39 years old, a native of the Cádiz municipality of San Fernando, member of the Group of Specialists in Underwater Activities (GEAS), with a partner and a daughter; and David Pérez Carracedo, 43 years old, native of Barcelona, member of the Rapid Action Group (GAR), with a wife and two children.
Both were sailing in a zodiac participating in an operation against drug trafficking in the port of Barbate, where they were hit by a high-speed boat manned by the first six detainees, resulting in their death. In addition, two other agents were injured, one of them slightly and the second seriously, although his life is not in danger.
The two deceased agents have been recognized with the posthumous award of the Golden Cross of the Order of Merit of the Civil Guard, these serious events awakening a public and political debate about the impact of drug trafficking on the Cádiz coast and about whether The police forces that fight against drug clans have sufficient human and material resources.
