A second policeman also arrested and charged in the case denies involvement.
A Valencia policeman is accused of stealing 20 kilos of cocaine recovered by the police so that he could keep both his wife and his lover in the habit of taking the drug.

The prosecutor in the case has charged two policemen with the theft of the drug which formed part of a 500 kilo haul found by the authorities in Valencia port. The second policeman says that he was not involved and has been implicate by his colleague ‘in revenge for a personal problem’.

The policeman who has confessed said that he was in a ‘delicate situation’ and needed money to keep his wife and girlfriend happy. That was why he said he went along with the idea of the fellow officer to take the 20 kilos of the drug which had been left on a temporary basis in a police van. He said he sold three kilos of the drug to a club doorman before he and the other policeman were arrested.

Had the accused sold all the drug they could have obtained as much as 600,000 €. One in five Europeans who take cocaine on a regular basis lives in Spain.
