irregularities
Civil Guard sources attribute the decision to the investigation carried out by Internal Affairs and which is directed by a Madrid court to clarify alleged irregularities in the works of various facilities of the body.
Among them are the Comandancia de Santa Cruz de Tenerife as one of the ranches that contracted the most suspicious works.
In the decision of number two of the Interior, the information that appeared on Store relations with the Lanzarote builder Angel Ramon Tejera de Leon investigated in the casewhich can result in a “discredit” of the Civil Guard.
Distrust
For the sources consulted by EFE, the appearance of the colonel’s name in the information about the plot interferes with the operation of the Command and generates “mistrust” towards its work, whatever the judicial drift of those investigated.
