Moreno asks the Government to reactivate the Civil Guard unit against drug trafficking
The Andalusian president justifies the request in the face of an "escalation of insecurity" due to the mafias that operate in different areas of the community.
Andalusian regional president Juanma Moreno has written to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez requesting the re-establishment of the Guardia Civil's elite narcotics unit, OCON-Sur, which was dismantled four years ago. Moreno cites a surge in drug-related activity in various parts of Andalusia, with the region now serving as an "operational base" for different drug clans and networks.
He highlights recent violent incidents, including the killing of a man in Utrera and three people, including a pregnant woman, in Isla Cristina. Moreno also references the deaths of four Guardia Civil agents in the line of duty in the past two years.
