During the house search the officers identified Viagra and other stimulant material ready for sale
The Spanish Civil Guard arrested a priest and his companion in the city of Don Benito (Badajoz) as part of an anti-drug operation. According to what was reported by the newspaper “El Pais”, it is Don Alfonso Raul M., priest of the parish of San Sebastián.
During the house search, the agents identified Viagra and other stimulant material ready for sale, which the priest would have distributed among his customers. The investigations began months ago, when the Guardia civil became aware of the alleged sale of substances by the parish priest and another man.
The parish priest was well known in the municipality of over 37 thousand inhabitants and enjoyed great popularity among the locals for his closeness to the citizens and for his way of exercising the priesthood. The arrests were carried out on Monday in the house that the priest shares with a man, his partner, something that was known in the village, according to what he reported “El Pais”. Those arrested were accused of the crime of trafficking in substances harmful to health outside the legal circuit.
