Alicante (EFE).- The bailaor Rafael Amargo has been transferred this Saturday morning to the courts of Alicante to give a statement in the next few hours in relation to his arrest last Thursday night in the city of Alicante for an alleged case of drug trafficking from several floors of the city of Madrid.
Wearing a dark jacket, his hair loose and his hands handcuffed behind him, the bailaor arrived at the Benalúa courts in Alicante at 9.15 a.m. aboard one of the four National Police vans that traveled from the provincial police station to the court headquarters for the pass available to the duty judge of between 16 and 18 detainees.
Amargo has spent the second night in the cells of the provincial police station of the National Police Corps and will give a statement before the duty judge, who today corresponds to Instruction 2.
The artist, a 48-year-old from Granada, was arrested by agents of the National Police expressly displaced from Madrid last Thursday night at the Adif train station in Alicante, where he arrived with the intention of performing in a room located in the center of the capital.
At the time of his capture, Amargo resisted for what, in addition to drug trafficking, he is accused of an alleged crime of attacking an agent of authority.
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.
