The National Court has charged Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Guard David Oliva, former Anti-Drug Chief of the Civil Guard for the Strait of Gibraltar, for the crimes of revealing secrets and bribery for, allegedly, having pressured a subordinate to find out if an investigation was being carried out. his presence at a 'narco' party, some facts for which he is expected to testify tomorrow in court.

As confirmed by sources in the case to Europa Press, this judicial decision is the result of an investigation that began last year by the Internal Affairs Service of the Civil Guard.

Oliva would have pressured a lieutenant to find out if Internal Affairs was investigating him for attending a 'narco' party, investigations that, according to the aforementioned sources, were not being carried out.

However, Internal Affairs did notice these alleged pressures and began to investigate him for it.. He also directed his investigations against that lieutenant and another, who are also accused of revealing secrets.

He is charged with the crime of revealing secrets for trying to obtain said information and bribery for guaranteeing that lieutenant, that he would have finally provided him with some type of information, that it would go from Internal Affairs to Anti-Drug.

OCON Chief

The pressure would have occurred during his time as head of the South Drug Trafficking Coordination Agency (OCON), created in mid-2018 as a leading unit in the fight against drugs and dismantled last September by the Ministry led by Fernando Grande-Marlaska.

The sources specify that both Oliva and this subordinate and the accused second lieutenant are summoned to testify on Wednesday, April 12 at the National Court.

The cause, for now, remains secret as a separate piece of a broader investigation in which the Anti-Drug Prosecutor participates.
