Investigators from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard and the Judicial Police of the Cádiz Command have determined that the drug boat piloted by Francisco Javier M. P., alias Kiko el Cabra, was not the one that rammed and killed the agents. in the port of Barbate.
As sources close to the case have informed EFE, it was another one that was in the port on February 9 that rammed the patrol boat.
After the investigations of the joint investigation team, it can be concluded - the report says - that the only high-speed boat that attacked the patrol boat in that port on the night of February 9 up to six times was not the drug boat that was seized the next day. and for which six people are in prison, including Kiko the Goat.
For this reason, they rule out the participation of those investigated in the events, that is, in the perpetration of the crimes of murder and attack, although not the crime of smuggling.
The sources have specified that it will now be the judicial authority that decides on the procedural situation of the six investigated.
The investigators have viewed the videos and the sequence of events and have come to the conclusion that the boat that was intercepted was not the one that hit the patrol boat and ended the lives of agents David Pérez and Miguel Ángel González.
In their statements in court, the six arrested denied at all times that they were the ones traveling in the drug boat that attacked the civil guards.
Given the doubts raised, the Barbate court investigating the case asked a court in the nearby town of Chiclana de la Frontera to inform it about the discovery of another similar vessel on its coast the day after the events.
And the head of the court wanted to investigate this other drug boat, with an antenna, at the request of the defense of one of the six imprisoned as alleged perpetrators of the two deaths.
The six defendants have agreed in stating that that night they were in the port of Barbate in a drug boat with four engines and two antennas, but that they did not attack the agents' boat.
What they did do was record what happened with their cell phones, some images that their defense sent to the court to be analyzed, which has been done.
