Possible new lead in La Manga car crash investigation?
This Tuesday’s police operation may be linked to the fatal narco-boat accident that took place on November 16
On Tuesday November 26, a significant police operation was conducted in the northern part of La Manga del Mar Menor, focusing on potential irregularities in the management of seized goods, including boats and other assets held under judicial custody.
The operation targeted the judicial depositary responsible for overseeing these items, with National Police officers inspecting storage facilities as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of administrative crimes and potential misuse of judicially held property.
While authorities have not disclosed specific details, sources close to the case suggest the investigation may involve criminal activity related to the handling of these assets.
There is even speculation that the operation could be connected to the tragic accident that occurred on Saturday November 16 on the RM-12 expressway, when a 9.7-metre semi-rigid suspected ‘narco-boat’ broke loose from a trailer being towed by a 4x4, causing a chain collision near Los Belones.
The crash resulted in the deaths of two British nationals and left several others injured, including another British passenger who remains in serious condition at the Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital 10 days later.
The boat, which had been apparently been seized and was allegedly under judicial custody, ended up blocking the roadway, leading to the accident.
The Guardia Civil and the National Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the boat’s transport and its possible use in illegal activities, such as drug trafficking or facilitating irregular migration from Algeria, even after it had been placed in police custody.
This incident has raised questions about the management and security of seized assets, particularly those linked to criminal investigations.
The judicial depositary’s role in safeguarding such property is now under intense scrutiny, with the ongoing investigation aiming to determine whether protocols were violated or assets were improperly handled.
While the National Police have not yet confirmed a direct connection between the operation in La Manga and the RM-12 accident, the timing and focus of the inspection suggest a broader inquiry into the handling of seized goods.
