Segovia anti-drug chief imprisoned for narcotics trafficking

Guardia Civil Segovia drug trafficking Miguel Ángel Barbero cocaine

Miguel Ángel Barbero, a lieutenant and the head of anti-drug efforts for the Guardia Civil in the province of Segovia, Spain, has been imprisoned. He faces charges including drug trafficking, bribery, discovery and revelation of secrets, and membership in a criminal group.

An investigation involving over 600 pages of reports, photos, and recordings suggests Barbero acted as an intermediary between a local drug dealer, identified as Gustavo, and a buyer named David. The investigation alleges that Barbero used his professional position and camouflaged official vehicles to facilitate drug transactions and meetings.

Evidence indicates Barbero personally delivered cocaine samples to buyers and collected payments to distribute to the local dealer. The probe originated from an investigation into Gustavo, who reportedly sourced drugs in Madrid for sale in Segovia.
