The alleged drug trafficker known as El Tigre , Alejandro SV, did not appear this Tuesday before the judge of the National Court who is investigating his alleged collaboration with the drug trafficking network that imported 13 tons of cocaine through a company in El Campello and in which the former head of the UDEF in Madrid, Óscar SG, is implicated. The police seized 20,284,350 euros in cash from his homes in Madrid and Dénia and from his police office.

The Anti-Drug Prosecutor’s Office has already suggested that this suspect might not appear , requesting that, if he is not located, an international arrest warrant be issued against him, according to legal sources who spoke to Efe.

Now, National Court Judge Francisco de Jorge must decide whether to order the search and arrest of this suspect, allegedly directly involved in an operation in which the network allegedly brought 500 kilos of cocaine into the country. This seizure precedes the largest haul seized last October in Algeciras: 13,000 kilos imported through a fruit company in El Campello . Those responsible, defended by lawyer Francisco Miguel Galiana Botella, were never sent to prison after being arrested upon surrendering after five months on the run.

Contacts in South America

El Tigre is based in Dubai and allegedly has the necessary contacts in South America to ship drugs through the companies of Ignacio T., one of the main defendants, who was recently released by order of the Criminal Chamber.

The former head of the UDEF in Madrid, Óscar SG, remains in prison. He is being investigated for allegedly facilitating the entry of drug shipments into Spain, diverting the focus of the Security Forces from the organization under investigation.

Regarding Alejandro SV, the Prosecutor’s Office believes there are indications that he was involved in a “possibly successful operation to enter Spain,” probably involving 500 kilos of cocaine , on October 9, 2020, with the collaboration of Ignacio T., according to Efe.

The cargo was initially stored in a warehouse controlled by this group in Madrid, which the group referred to as “Edu’s ship.” There are conversations between Alejandro SV and another suspect who is wanted, Daniel YE, in which they said they had “made a name for themselves.”

This last suspect “turns out to be an intermediary” between Alejandro SV—who allegedly had the contacts in South America—and the organization in which the former head of the UDEF in Madrid, who was arrested with €20 million hidden in his home, is allegedly involved.

It is being investigated whether El Tigre made Ignacio T.’s companies available to his contacts, as if they were his own, through Daniel YE
