Rafael Amargo faces nine years in prison for drug trafficking. A session of the trial has been dedicated to listening to hours of calls that his defense wants not to be admitted as evidence.
In the conversations that have been heard, there are no explicit mentions of the drugs that the police claim he was trafficking. For the prosecution, these talks fit into the puzzle that places Amargo as the leader of a network that has distributed narcotics in Madrid, at least since 2020. The investigation began in 2020, when the national police deployed a device in the center of Madrid to identify possible drug trafficking in the middle of the pandemic. The dancer's partner was also initially arrested, but his case was finally closed. The artist was released, but three years later the police arrested him again because his neighbors reported that his home was still a drug apartment. He entered prison after failing to comply with the signature every 15 days that the judge imposed as a precautionary measure. For this alleged collaborator, the Prosecutor's Office requests six years in jail.
