Spain is grappling with a series of incidents ranging from natural disasters to criminal investigations. Authorities are currently searching for a man who went missing after heavy rains caused the Ramonete ravine in Lorca to overflow.
Search Continues for Man Swept Away by Floods
Several patrol units of the Civil Guard are conducting a land search, while a maritime patrol vessel is searching the mouth of the ravine where it meets the sea. The Rambla de Ramonete in Lorca experienced significant flooding, leading to the dangerous situation. "The search is ongoing, and we are doing everything we can to locate the missing man," stated a Civil Guard spokesperson.
Arrests Made in La Rioja Murder Case
In a separate incident, five individuals have been arrested in connection with the fatal beating of Felipe 'el Caganidos' in La Rioja. The Civil Guard has solved the crime, revealing that the perpetrators were close to the victim and motivated by a robbery at his home.
"This was a complex investigation, but we are confident that we have brought the responsible parties to justice," said a lead investigator.
Valencia Schools Targeted with Threats
Adding to the week's events, the Guardia Civil arrested a man who threatened to "kill people" in several schools in Valencia. The municipalities of Yátova, Buñol, Chiva, and Turís took immediate action, suspending classes and evacuating school centers after receiving threatening emails from the arrested individual. The man is also suspected of threatening to place explosive devices in the same schools, further escalating the situation.
As a precaution, the schools in Chiva, Buñol, Yátova, and Siete Aguas were evacuated while security forces ensured the safety of the area. The quick response by local authorities and the Civil Guard is credited with preventing any potential harm.
National Court Seeks Assistance in Drug Tunnel Investigation
The National Court is seeking assistance from Rabat to investigate the Moroccan side of the Ceuta drug tunnel. Judge María Tardón has sent a rogatory commission so that the Civil Guard can continue its investigations beyond the border, hoping to shut down the illegal operation.
Finally, the Civil Guard has informed a judge that the Attorney General has not returned any mobile device that the Supreme Court can examine. The UCO letter adds that García Ortiz received two terminals and reset one of them a week after the investigation into the leak of data concerning Ayuso's partner was opened, raising questions about transparency and accountability.
