Madrid (EFE) in the capital.
The 48-year-old artist from Granada was arrested at the end of his performance at the Casanova venue in Alicante as the alleged perpetrator of a crime against public health and another of an attack against an agent of the authority, police sources have confirmed to EFE.
This is the second arrest suffered by Amargo for similar events, since in December 2020 the Police attributed a crime against public health for which the Prosecutor’s Office asks him for 9 years in prison. The bailaor’s trial is scheduled to take place in Madrid in June of this year.
However, Amargo came back under police scrutiny when several neighbors denounced, about a year ago, the movement of polydrug addicts in his flat on Espíritu Santo street, in the central Malasaña neighborhood.
The investigation from that moment on was carried out by the Judicial Police of the Central District Police Station in Madrid.
The agents arranged numerous surveillance devices that verified the retailing of drugs in the artist’s residence, as well as in other tourist rental properties to which he moved after leaving Espíritu Santo street a few months ago.
