Some of the arrested local police are still waiting to declare before the instruction judge
The man being referred to as the ‘Sheriff of Coslada’, the local police chief in the Madrid town of Coslada, Ginés Jiménez Buendía, has told the judge instructing the allegations of widespread local police corruption that he is innocent. His lawyer, José Andrés Díaz Herrera, says the case is wrapped up in political fighting.

13 of the 24 local police arrested last Thursday still remain in the judicial cells waiting for their turn to make a statement to the judge. Eight of them did make a statement to the

Instruction Judge 21 in Coslada, Eduardo Cruz Torres, yesterday.
Reports indicate that all those to declare have claimed to be innocent. They are accused of extorting local businesses, and of dealing in prostitution in the town.
Of the 25 arrested, 8 have been granted bail so far.
