Overview
- The detention occurred in the Malilla neighborhood after officers tracked the suspect’s vehicle-based activity across multiple stops.
- Investigators opened the case in early October upon learning an elderly man was allegedly supplying drugs from his car near Carretera de Malilla.
- Surveillance documented exchanges through the driver’s window as different people approached the vehicle at preselected points.
- With judicial authorization, police searched the suspect’s home and storage unit, finding about 15 grams of cocaine packaged for sale, a precision scale, and utensils for preparing doses.
- Authorities also seized €84,900 in cash believed to be proceeds of the activity, and the man has been placed at the disposal of the local judiciary on an alleged drug-trafficking offense.
