Police officers from Unidad Central de Delincuencia Económica y Fiscal (UDEF) in Madrid have carried out search of 10 properties between Marbella and Estepona on Tuesday 2 February 2021. Five homes, four premises and one law firm has been search. The office of the mayor's husband, at Cento Plaza, is among one of the two premises being searched. Nine people have been detained. Among those detained is a Policia Local agent who was an escort for the current mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, in the past, according to marbellaconfidencial.es.
The Search was carried out due to a court order from court no 6 at the National High Court (“Audiencia National”) in Madrid. It is the Department of Special Investigations within the Swedish Police (NOA) that has requested the investigation.
The judge at the National High Court, Manuel García Castellón, has decided unconditional imprisonment for two of the nine detainees. The other seven have left the arrest with travel restrictions with withdrawal of their passports and demand to appear at the court of Marbella once per week, as reported by marbellaconfidencial.es on 12 February.
Months ago 55,000 Subutex pills were seized, between Spain and Sweden, and one person was arrested and documentation was obtained, which has led to this ongoing investigation and the searches and the arrests carried out by the UDEF police officers.
On the black market, one Subutex pill was said to cost €150 in Finland in year 2016.
Subutex is a drug, also called Buprenorphine, which is an opioid used to treat opioid use disorder, acute pain, and chronic pain. Maximum pain relief is generally within an hour with effects up to 24 hours.
Subutex creates a high that is not cognitively disorienting with drugs such as heroin or morphine. Short term effects of Subutex abuse include: euphoria, decreased pain, and even sedation. However, if you abuse Subutex there are also many undesirable side effects that are unwanted and these include: sweating, mood swings, dizziness, vomiting, body aches, and flu-like symptoms, among others. vertavahealth.com - Subutex Abuse
The National Operations Department of the Swedish Police (NOA), previously named "Rikskriminalpolisen", is responsible for coordinating, planning and monitoring the special efforts undertaken by several authorities against serious organised crime (polisen.se).
The mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, commented the ongoing investigation on Twitter on 11 February 2021, where she says:
Many seek to damage my image and my work in the Town Hall, but above all, the image of Marbella. Once the confidentiality is lifted, everything will be seen clearly. (Muchos buscan dañar mi imagen y mi labor en el Ayuntamiento, aunque sobre todo, la imagen de Marbella. Una vez se levante el secreto de sumario se verá todo con claridad.) twitter.com - Ángeles Muñoz
Eldiario.es also published in their article on 11 February 2021, after the mayor had communicated by Twitter, other issues related to the family of Àngeles Muñoz:
- That Crasel Panoramica, owned by the mayor and her husband, invested 3.1 million euros in a bank in Luxembourg. An association of victims of Equity Release, offered by that bank in Luxembourg, denounced that it was a tax ruse. Muñoz always denied having manoeuvred not to pay all taxes in Spain.
- That Marbella and Benahavís city councils agreed to the delivery of 300,000 square meters, more than a third of which was owned by the mayor's husband. The "relocation" of the land had the indirect effect of a change in its urban classification.
- That the mayor, Angelés Muñoz Uriol had invited her own son (Alexander Broberg) and her own sister (Ana Muñoz Uriol) to luxury hotels during an institutional trip to China, at the expense of the Town Hall. The mayor then explained that it did not incur any additional charges because they had taken advantage of the two double rooms reserved for her and a councillor (José Luís Hernandez). The trip to China took place from 30 November 2014 to 7 December 2014. Alexander Johan Broberg Muñoz emigrated to Sweden on 22 April 2013 and has not been a resident in Spain since then.
