Before Judge Pedraz, the brigadier has accused the woman who recorded him of collaborating with the organization under investigation and has defended that she spoke of placing beacons without judicial authorization or interrogating detainees without a lawyer because she was pretending to infiltrate the group of alleged drug traffickers. , have informed elDiario.es legal sources.

The commander was assigned to the Economic Crimes Group of the Madrid Command when last April he had a date with a woman with whom he had met twice before. During the course of the meeting, S. B describes the methods with which his group works and blames his boss, Lieutenant Abel Marín, for forcing arrests without motivation just “to make it sound,” in reference to the media relevance they acquire. its operations.

Marín is responsible for the reports with which the Civil Guard tried to accuse the Government delegate of various crimes with hoaxes and misrepresentations during the first state of alarm due to the Covid epidemic and hold the central Executive responsible for the spread of the disease by authorizing the 8M feminist march. The accused brigadier also participated in that investigation, the results of which were subsequently archived by the court.

The brigade’s version had already been conveyed to the judge by Lieutenant Marín in a report. This Tuesday, according to the sources consulted, the accused maintained that he acted as a double agent because he knew that the woman was an envoy of the organization he was investigating. The recording of that date ends with both of them asking for a hotel room at the reception and paying with a card.

The woman told the judge that she recorded the brigadier because she had previously had problems with married men, to defend herself, and that it was later when she learned that one of her friends was a target of the brigadier’s group and that she gave him the recording then so that he could defend himself. of those methods. “I am the most illegal of illegals,” the agent says at one point in the conversation.

The brigadier has answered the questions of the judge, the Anti-Drug prosecutor and his lawyer, and has refused to respond to the defenses of those accused in Operation Águila-Frozen, regarding drug trafficking and money laundering. To try to support his version, he has said that he believed that some intimate photos that the woman sent to her cell phone were a Trojan virus and that he took it to a computer scientist to make sure, without detailing who the professional was who treated him or where he could be located. .

At his meeting with the woman, the civil guard spoke about several of his investigations and his past in the Corps. Among other matters, he assured that he had been assigned to the Economic Management of the General Directorate, which manages the assets of the Civil Guard, and that he knew of the alleged corruption within it that has emerged with the Barracks case, collusion between generals and a businessman also investigated. in the Mediator case. “We made money. That has always been like this,” he is heard saying. Neither the judge nor the prosecutor have asked the investigator about this point, which is unrelated to the procedure in which the statement was made.

Judge Pedraz asked him what he obtained from this alleged infiltration work, to which the brigadier responded with the fact that some people investigated for a crime of fraud appeared before the Civil Guard, a minor issue that affects some investigated in the National Court but in one that is continued in a court in Majadahonda.

Brigadier S. B has also said that he kept his infiltration work hidden from his own boss, Lieutenant Marín, and that it was only when Economist & Jurist published the first information about the alleged illegal methods in July that he was transferred.
