On 4 November, an article from El Pais said that an attorney in Madrid used a group of seniors living in poverty to conceal the income from traffickers who had imported 4 tonnes of cocaine into Spain.  It starts with the story of one 84-year-old who, on paper, holds 44 bank accounts and is on the paperwork for a total of 25 companies.  He is allegedly one of the 6 frontmen used by an attorney from Madrid who has been under investigation since 2019.  The lawyer is alleged to have made use of 6 octogenarians living in poverty to legitimise the network’s flow of income, and were on the books of 387 companies, which in turn owned 414 properties in Madrid. The fictitious scheme also involved a web of nearly 300 bank accounts.
