Incredible story of the roadsweeper who was also the leader of a criminal drug trafficking organization in Torrevieja.
The Civil Guard of Alicante has arrested ten members of a criminal organisation for drug trafficking in Torrevieja.
They are also accused of the crime of money laundering and another crime of belonging to a criminal organisation.
Their boss, a worker for a company dedicated to cleaning the town, took advantage of his status as a street sweeper to mask the sale of cocaine.
During the workday he distributed and sold the doses of cocaine directly to consumers. But his entrepreneurial mindset would make him go further.
Due to the volume of work, he sought help from several people who were in charge of distributing the drug to users.
They worked as if it were a real company, fulfilling a strict schedule from eight in the morning to eleven at night, from Monday to Saturday. In exchange they received 600 euros a month.
In the event that they did not provide proper accounts to the boss, he did not hesitate to use violence against them, giving them brutal beatings.
On Sundays, the boss himself was in charge of the sale and subsequent distribution of the substances to the homes and workplaces of consumers.
Even the mother of one of those involved worked in the organisation! An octogenarian woman who made packages which contained cocaine in exchange for 100 euros a month.
