Insp. Fuentes Gago, attaché to #Spanish embassy in the Netherlands, & top fraud squad officers secretly recorded Isea & his lawyer at the meeting in the #Spanish consulate.
Chavez's ex-confidant had fled to the US & was concerned for his family's safety.

Despite Isea's fears, Fuentes Gago's promises of a new life, anonymity & protection for his family convinced him to confirm the €7.1M payment.
However, #Spanish newspaper @abc_es published his statement with his full name and then the case was dropped.

Fuentes Gago is currently under investigation in Operation Tándem for his role in the alleged robbery of documents from jailed ex-#PP treasurer, Luis Bárcenas, also involving King of the #cloacas, ex-police Commissioner #Villarejo.

The Patriotic Police of the #Spanish State's Cesspit

Naive to believe a secret unit using illegal methods would only act against #Catalan pro-indy parties & leaders. #Villarejo & co's activities undermine the foundations of democracy @joseantich
