Galicia Drug Cases Move to Trial: Vigo Flat Sales and 50‑Kilo Smuggling
Prosecutors say months of surveillance and forensic findings justify prison terms and heavy fines.
Overview
- In Vigo, a mother and two sons are set for trial next week in the fifth section of the Audiencia de Pontevedra over alleged sales of cocaine and heroin from a flat used as a narcopiso.
- The prosecutor seeks six years in prison for the mother and four years for each son after surveillance documented repeated visits and on‑site consumption that alarmed neighbors.
- Police intercepted the mother with €800 and later a son with €850, presented as daily takings from retail drug sales during late 2021 and 2022.
- Separately, two men from Vilanova will appear Monday before the Audiencia Nacional after SVA agents seized 50 one‑kilogram cocaine packages from a hidden compartment at the AP‑9 toll in Vilaboa following a trip to Portugal.
- The state requests sentences of seven years and six months for one defendant and eight years and nine months for the other, along with €4.5 million fines each, citing 85% purity, an estimated €1.7 million market value, and materials seized in home and warehouse searches.
