¿Se acaba el idilio José Tomás - Boix?
Nada tendría de particular si no fuera porque es el torero de Galapagar, José Tomás y su apoderado Salvador Boix. Al ser quien es, se abre un abanico de especulaciones. Yo en este caso prefiero ser como Santo Tomás, hasta que no lo vea no me lo creo.
Dicen que este domingo, Manolo Molés va a dar datos sobre el asunto en su programa “Los Toros” de la cadena Ser. Sería un bombazo para abrir el 2011. Estaremos Atentos.
José Luis Pereda también a Sevilla.
Y como rectificar es de sabios, decirles que las noticias referentes a las ganaderías de la temporada sevillana, han sido facilitadas por Sevillatoro, al cual le agradecemos su comprensión y colobaración.
Martín Lorca se suma al elenco ganadero sevillano.
Por tanto ya solo queda por cerrar un hierro para la tercera corrida de la feria de San Miguel, si está hipoteticamnete se celebrase.
Martin Lorca ya lidio en la misma fecha, el año pasado, con una corrida desigual de juego, donde destaco el excelente comportamiento del ejemplar que hizo sexto, aquella tarde, al que Salvador Cortés le cortó las dos orejas.
Cerrado el elenco de las ganaderías que irán a la feria de Sevilla 2011
Hijos de Eduardo Miura Fernández, San Mateo y San Pelayo (Rejones), Torreherberos-Torrehandilla, Daniel Ruiz, Victorino Martín, Jandilla, Fermín Bohórquez (Rejones), Conde de la Maza, Dolores Aguirre, Garcigrande, Alcurrucén, Joaquín Núñez del Cuvillo, El Pilar, Carmen Segovia, El Ventorrillo y Fuente Ymbro.
Para la feria de San Miguel se han contratado dos corridas, una segunda de "El Pilar" y otra de Torrealta. Falta por definir dos más, una para una tercera tarde, en la feria de San Miguel y otra para la tradicional corrida del día del Corpus.
Definitivamente se caen de la lista hierros como Márques de Domecq, "El Torreón" o "La Quinta"..

Scot is held after drugs bust - Herald Scotland | News | Crime & Courts
Scot is held after drugs bust - Herald Scotland | News | Crime & Courts: "Scottish expat spent Christmas behind bars for his alleged part in a suspected drugs gang in a Spanish holiday resort.
James Lindsay, 51, has been held since last week after he was picked up during a major police operation near Alicante on the Costa Blanca.
Lindsay was arrested with two other British citizens, 64-year-old David Tricks, from Luton, and John Hugoes, 40, whose hometown is unknown.
Spanish drugs officers found 600kg of hashish, worth an estimated £1.8m, at a house shared by the three men in Catral, near Alicante.
Also recovered during the operation were three imitation firearms and €25,000 (£21,250) in cash. Six luxury cars, computers, field-glasses and 30 mobile phones were also seized, police said.
Reports in the Spanish press said one of the men was later re-arrested after trying to flee from a hospital where he was treated for a stroke apparently suffered during the initial operation.
The three men are being questioned as part of a probe into a long-running drugs operation on the Spanish holiday coast.
A spat between rival gangs recently saw a 1.2-tonne shipment of hashish stolen at gun point as it was unloaded from boats at a remote beach, according to local reports."

's legal brain trust for alleged torture in the treatment of war on terror detainees, warned Mel Martinez on one of his frequent trips to Madrid. Doing so would chill U.S.-Spanish relations.Rather than a resolution, though, a senior Spanish diplomat gave the former GOP chairman and housing secretary a lesson in Spain's separation of powers. ``The independence of the judiciary and the process must be respected,'' then-acting Foreign Minister Angel Lossada replied on April 15, 2009. Then for emphasis, ``Lossada reiterated to Martinez that the executive branch of government could not close any judicial investigation and urged that this case not affect the overall relationship.''
The case is still open, on the desk of a Spanish magistrate, awaiting a reply from the Obama administration on whether it will pursue a probe of its own.
But the episode, revealed in a raft of WikiLeaks cables, was part of a secret concerted U.S. effort to stop a crusading Spanish judge from investigating a torture complaint against former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and five other senior Bush lawyers."

Cartagena con posible nueva plaza de toros.
El nuevo coso multiusos se construiría en los terrenos del llamado Parque Norte, entre el centro comercial y de ocio Mandarache y la barriada de San Félix, sobre una parcela de 45.000 metros cuadrados y tendría, según el proyecto virtual presentado por el Foro Taurino al Ayuntamiento, una capacidad para 12.000 espectadores para las corridas, ampliables a 16.000 para otros eventos. El recinto estaría cubierto por un techo móvil y equipado con palcos vip y un museo taurino. Sería considerada la plaza más moderna de España y costaría alrededor 20 millones de euros.

Police caught up with O'Brien at the Trafalgar Bar, in Calahonda, a coastal town between Marbella and Fuengirola.
One of the UK's most wanted fugitives has been arrested in Spain.
Dennis O'Brien, from Liverpool, is suspected of leading a gang which plotted to import £166 million of cocaine into the UK from Peru.
The 62-year-old was found at a Costa del Sol bar on Saturday after a joint operation by the British Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) and Spanish police.
He is one of the fugitives featured in Operation Captura - Crimestoppers' campaign to trace suspected British criminals who are on the run in Spain.
Police caught up with O'Brien at the Trafalgar Bar, in Calahonda, a coastal town between Marbella and Fuengirola.
A spokesman said: "Dennis Patrick O'Brien was arrested on Saturday in Calahonda in the Costa del Sol.
"The arrest was part of an ongoing operation by the Spanish National Police and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency targeting bars in the region which are known to be regular haunts of criminals."
O'Brien fled the country in 2005 before he could be put on trial for his alleged role in a conspiracy to supply 1.6 tonnes of cocaine.
His son James Kelly, from Garston, Liverpool, was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court for 19 years in March 2007 for his part in the same trafficking plot.
The investigation led police from Peru to England, via Rotterdam, Madrid and Amsterdam, and even saw gang members tailed to Hong Kong and Dubai.DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text. Copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
Se presenta un taurino febrero 2011, en Madrid.
El próximo mes de febrero se presenta muy taurino en la Comunidad de Madrid. La feria de Valdemorillo y la mini feria experimento (bis) de Vistalegre. Volvemos del fin de semana y nos encontramos con posibles carteles que compondrían estas ferias.
Para Valdemorillo, que se celebrará del 4 al 7 de febrero, Tomas Entero, empresario del coso, tiene pensado dar una novillada mixta. otra sin caballos y dos corridas de toros. Los carteles serian los siguientes:
Viernes 4 de febrero. El rejoneador Álvaro Montes y los novilleros Juan del Álamo y Víctor Barrio (mano a mano) con novillos de José Cruz.
Sábado 5 de febrero. Fernando Robleño, Iván Fandiño y Alberto Aguilar, con toros de Peñajara.
Domingo 6 de febrero. Antonio Ferrera, Rubén Pinar y otro espada por determinar, con toros de Clotilde Calvo "Buenavista".
Lunes 7 de febrero. Novillada sin picadores "Trofeo Chimenea de Oro".
Para el fin de semana de Vistalagre, 26 y 27 de febrero, la empresa Taurodelta baraja estos carteles:
Sábado 26. "El Juli", Alejandro Talavante y (Perera o Castella) uno a elegir, con toros de Gracigrande.
Domingo 27. Juan Mora, Morante de la Puebla y José Maria Manzanares, con toros de Nuñez del Cuvillo.
*Estos carteles no son definitivos y se compodrán según avancen negociaciones para la plaza de Las Ventas.
Parece ser que al contrario que ocurriera el año pasado, esta feria de Vistalegre no será televisada, ni por PPV ni por ninguna otra modalidad.

Atarfe ofrecerá un collage de tauromaquias en su V certamen de Rejoneo.
El matador de toros y empresario Pedro Pérez ‘Chicote’ ha cerrado ya los carteles del certamen, del que destaca lo siguiente: “Para esta edición hemos decidido reunir a triunfadores de certámenes anteriores, tanto masculinos como femeninos, para que el espectáculo reúna el máximo interés para todos los públicos”.
En este sentido, Chicote y Canal Sur Televisión han introducido una original novedad en el certamen: “Este año vamos a incorporar la exhibiciones de recortadores que actuarán con toros en puntas para de este modo mostrar todas las vertientes de la tauromaquia”, explica Chicote.
Se trata del quinto año consecutivo que el empresario granadino se encuentra al frente de la organización del Certamen, por lo que se muestra muy satisfecho: “Estoy muy contento por la continuidad del Certamen y agradecido a Canal Sur Televisión, impulsor de este proyecto desde sus comienzos. También estoy convencido de que las novedades que vamos a introducir le darán un giro sustancial que lo harán más interesante si cabe, siguiendo la línea original y novedosa que caracteriza a este certamen cada año”.
En cuanto a las ganaderías, también se ha seleccionado entre las triunfadoras en las últimas ediciones: Prieto de la Cal, Villamarta, Campos Peña y Millares.
La empresa de Pedro Pérez ‘Chicote’ sigue con su política de ajuste de precios para que sean asequibles para todos los públicos. Siguiendo esta premisa, “cualquier aficionado puede presenciar en directo un festejo por 10 euros y por 38 puede adquirir el abono para los cuatro festejos”, asegura el empresario.
Los carteles son los siguientes:

Todos los festejos comenzarán a las cinco de la tarde. Las entradas se pondrán reservar en el teléfono 680 925 303.
¿Y el quid de la cuentión?
Pues bien, de soluciones e ideas, nada de nada. Apoyaran una ILP taurina, crearan un festival para sacar cuartos, supongo que para subvencionar la ILP y homenajearán a Mario Vargas Llosa, que me parece estupendo. Pero donde está el quid de la cuestión. Me surgen cientos de preguntas, que de momento no tienen respuesta. ¿Cómo llevarán el espectáculo a la tele? ¿Merece la pena el ppv? ¿Acabaran con los ponedores? ¿Quién le cortará las alas al barbero? ¿Bajaran los honorarios para que el espectáculo sea más barato y accesible? ¿Cómo garantizan que de verdad hay peligro en el ruedo? ¿Abrirán el abanico y se dejaran de monoencaste? ¿Cómo llevamos juventud a los toros? ¿Para cuándo sanciones duras contra todo aquel que ejerza el fraude?..................
Que sepan que Fernando Domecq se ha ido de rositas después de enviar una mojona cornúpeta a Sevilla y que en Logroño han descubierto que el barbero llevo sus trabajos con toros de Torrestrella y Victoriano del Río. ¿Qué pasa, que no pasa nada contra el fraude? Díganme señores taurinos ¿De qué puñetas hablaron el miércoles?
Avance para Fallas 2011.
Como es sabido, la plaza de toros esta sufriendo obras de remodelación en sus tendidos que estarán terminados para el día 12 de marzo, que será el día de reinauguración de la plaza. Para ese día la empresa pretende conformar un cartel de cuatro espadas de relumbrón. Parecen fijos Enrique Ponce y "El Juli". El ciclo fallero se extenderá desde el día 12 al 20 de marzo. En esos días la empresa dará ocho corridas de toros, dos novilladas con picadores, una sin caballos y el festejo de rejones matinal del 19 de marzo.
Se han mantenido contacto con Manzanares, "El Fandi", "El Cid", Sebastian Castella, Morante de la Puebla y Miguel Ángel Perera, además de con Vicente Barrera que pretende despedirse del toreo, en esta plaza.
José Tomás no estará en Valencia por marzo, pero trataran de contratarlo para la Feria de Julio.
Las ganaderias reseñadas para Fallas son las de Jandilla, "Las Ramblas", Alcurrucen, Fuente-Ymbro, Nuñez del Cuvillo, Adolfo Martín y "El Pilar" a falta de concretar otras, de las que tres toros de una corrida podrían ser de Victorino Martin, mano a mano, con otra ganadería. Para este mano a mano queda descartada la divisa de Miura.
Serolo, al final, descartado en Alicante.
Parece ser que hay ciertas irregularidades, en la oferta presentada por Sebastian Rodriguez y la UTE que le acompaña. Según fuentes consulatadas, la oferta solo estaría firmada por Serolo y no por todos los integrantes de la UTE, con lo que el Ayuntamiento ha decidido descartar a Serolo.
Como era la única oferta presentada, el concurso quedara desierto y obligará al consistorio alicantino a volver a convocar el concurso para la explotación de su plaza de toros.
Homenaje de Cartagena a Ortega Cano.
El acto mayor será un festival taurino en el que intervendrán: el rejoneador Pedro Hernández "El Cartagenero", los diestros Francisco Ruiz Miguel, Jesulin de Ubrique, Rivera Ordoñez y "Rafaelillo, y el novillero Rafael Cerro.
Los toros pertenecerán al hierro de Yerbabuena, propiedad de José Ortega Cano.
Beheaded people for a Mexican drug cartel while under the influence of narcotics.
teenager captured international headlines this month after admitting that he beheaded people for a Mexican drug carte
l while under the influence of narcotics. Fourteen years ago, that same boy began his life in San Diego with cocaine in his system.Edgar Jimenez Lugo’s arrest and confession show what can happen when children — especially orphans or those from unstable families — become involved in the drug underworld. It’s a problem authorities on both sides of the border are fighting.More than 32,000 people have died in Mexico since President Felipe Calderón launched an unprecedented war on that nation’s drug traffickers and organized crime in 2006.
Still, many Mexicans were stunned by the specter of child recruits being used as hitmen for cartels, said Ursula Oswald, an analyst of social vulnerabilities at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Cuernavaca.
“Everybody suspected but wasn’t sure this existed, until you have this case,” Oswald said.
Edgar’s story started in 1996 in San Diego, where his birth wasn’t greeted with the typical family fanfare. His parents were leading a tumultuous life of drug addiction, alcoholism and domestic violence.
In the months before he was born, his father, David Antonio Jimenez Solis, was jailed for spousal abuse. He later acknowledged to a probation officer that he snorted cocaine daily, smoked marijuana and drank a six-pack of beer each day.
Edgar’s mother, Yolanda Jimenez Lugo, told her probation officer that she suffered from depression and used cocaine to boost her spirits and energy.
When Edgar was born and tested positive for cocaine in the hospital, child welfare workers immediately took him from his mother, along with five of his siblings, and put them in foster care.
“Edgar hardly knew his mother,” a relative of Yolanda’s recalled last week.
By the time Edgar was 18 months old, his mother was arrested at a drug house in southeastern San Diego for possession of rock cocaine. The next month, Edgar and his siblings were sent to live with their paternal grandmother, Carmen Solis Gil, in Cuernavaca, Mexico, a tourism destination about 40 miles south of Mexico City.
She died about six years ago — around the time that Edgar was getting into fights in the second grade, eventually being expelled after he punched a girl.
“When Doña Carmen was alive, those kids didn’t get in trouble,” Yolanda’s relative said. “Everything started coming apart when she died.”
The details about Edgar and his family come from official documents and interviews in San Diego and Mexico with relatives, friends, neighbors and authorities.
But how he became part of a gang associated with the splintered Beltran Leyva cartel remains unclear.
What is known is that the Mexican army arrested Edgar on Dec. 2 at the airport near Cuernavaca. The military then twice paraded him before a throng of news media, first at the airport and then the next day in Mexico City.
His place in the spotlight followed the posting of a YouTube video last month showing teens — including one called “El Ponchis,” Edgar’s nickname — boasting about decapitating cartel enemies. The footage created a buzz throughout Mexico and led to a military hunt for the youthful hitmen.DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text.

A story of sunken treasure, Nazi art thieves and secret diplomatic cables would make a pretty good movie,
WikiLeaks reveals a secret deal against Tampa's Odyssey Marine Exploration: "A story of sunken treasure, Nazi art thieves 
and secret diplomatic cables would make a pretty good movie, but it's a true story playing out right here in Tampa. And like so much in the news lately it also involves WikiLeaks.In 2007, Tampa based Odyssey Marine Exploration announced an historic discovery - a half billion dollars worth of gold and silver coins on the floor of the North Atlantic. The treasure was brought to the U.S., but Spain immediately claimed ownership sparking a legal battle.
Enter WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange whose massive release of classified documents revealed a secret deal between an American ambassador and Spanish officials.
The Guardian online found a diplomatic cable in which the American suggested he might be able to help Spain repatriate their coins if they would return a rare painting claimed by an American couple in San Diego."

WikiLeaks Disclosures Prompt Defense Department Ban on USB Drives 
- Security - News & Reviews - eWeek.com: "The Pentagon's new restrictions on removable media and file transfers may impact how United States troops abroad communicate with family and friends back home, according to a privacy and computer security expert.The new rules, outlined by the U.S. Department of Defense in a memo shortly after WikiLeaks started posting 250,000 cables from U.S. embassies and diplomats, ban military service personnel from using any removable media on any classified machines. The 'crackdown' on removable media will likely include 'rewritable CD drives, USB flash drives and multimedia storage like SD cards,' said Darren Hayes, Computer Information Systems Program Chair at New York's Pace University, to eWEEK.
Maj. Gen. Richard Webber, commander of Air Force Network Operations, issued a 'Cyber Control Order' on Dec. 3, outlining the new rules and directing all personnel to 'immediately cease use of removable media on all systems, servers and stand-alone machines residing on SIPRNet,' according to a CNN report.
Similar directives have been issued to other military branches, the report said."

Wikileaks' Julian Assange: The most dangerous man in the world? - Telegraph
Wikileaks' Julian Assange: The most dangerous man in the world? - Telegraph: "WikiLeaks remains something of a mystery. Who runs it? How does it work? And what will it do next?It is Assange whose face adorns the WikiLeaks home page. Groomed and suited, he looks like an American news anchor. Strange is the word often used to describe him; arrogant, too. But bright, also.
“I am the heart and soul of this organisation, its founder, philosopher, original coder, organiser, financier and all the rest,” he once said to a critic. “If you have a problem with me, p--- off.”
Born in Queensland, Australia in 1971, Assange has always been a nomad. His mother, herself a rebel, moved him 37 times before the age of 14. Little is known about his father. Home-schooled, he developed an early obsession with computers and, as the web developed, he became a hacker, earning a criminal record at the age of 20 for breaking into the system of a Canadian telecoms company. The break up of his marriage and the ensuing battle for access to his child inspired in him a lasting mistrust of state power. Wikileaks, an internet repository for leaked information, born in 2007, was the result."

Spanish reports yesterday said that no action had been taken by the Spanish authorities against them.It will be recalled that the Spanish interior minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba late on that night telephoned the Chief Minister Peter Caruana and offered his apologies for the 'incorrect action' taken by the Spanish Guardia Civil officers, who had earlier been detained by Gibraltar police for entering Gibraltar waters and landing in the port area, in pursuit of a Spanish fast launch with two men onboard.
Interior ministry said then that Caruana had accepted the apologies and that they hoped the matter would be resolved shortly.
Shortly thereafter, the Gibraltar police said the four Guardia Civil officers had been released."

Lo peor es que lo sabemos y no hacemos nada
El domingo ,en la monumental de México, se va a rizar el rizo. Si los toros que salen en el embudo de Insurgentes son de juzgado de guardia, con unas caritas como la canción de Manolo Escobar, lavada y recién peiná, este 12 de diciembre se va a marcar un record.
Si ya de por si, el toro mexicano tiene menos casta que el salpicadero de un Seat Panda, si lo unimos a una presentación infame, apaga y vámonos.
Miren la pinta de alguno de los toros reseñados de las ganaderías de Teofilo Gómez y "Los Encinos".
Hoy estamos contemplando como muchos personajes del deporte están siendo acusados de ayudarse de sustancias prohibidas para conseguir sus triunfos. ¿Porque no acusamos a los toreros y ganaderos que son participes del fraude del barbero de Utrera?. Seguro que se nos caían muchos mitos del toreo, al igual que le esta pasando al atletismo o al ciclismo. Pero lo peor es que lo sabemos y no hacemos nada.

"La vida sigue igual"
La indiferencia de los gobernantes del reino ve como mueren habitantes por su culpa. El sistema no tiene sitio para los “Patas-blancas”. Muy pronto Villamartas, santacolomas, Albaserradas….. serán rociados en las cámaras de gas. El reino solo admite la raza domecq. Porque los bobos tienen suerte. Por eso tenemos a algún bufón por el escalafón, ocupando el lugar de uno que sabe torear.
Mientas aquí en la red algunos nos ilusionábamos con los posible cambios, para bien, en el reino, sus gobernantes se han puesto un disco de Julito Iglesias…. La vida sigue igual…..
Town Hall suspends contract with Torremolinos animal refuge
Town Hall suspends contract with Torremolinos animal refuge: "confirmed that Torremolinos Town Hall has temporarily suspended its contract with Parque Animal, the local refuge allegedly linked to abuse of the animals in their care, and has opened sanctioning proceedings against the shelter.
The two people in charge of Parque Animal, the owner and manager, were both arrested earlier this month, charged with abusing the animals in their care by using a lower dosage of euthanasia medicine in order to save costs. The Civil Guard say the pets who were sacrificed in this way suffered a slow and agonising death. The pair also faces charges of fraud."

January trial for juvenile charged in Marta del Castillo case
Possible January trial for juvenile charged in Marta del Castillo case: "juvenile charged in the Marta del Castillo case is to be tried for his alleged part in her rape and death at the end of next January, Canal Sur Radio reports. It will then have been two years since Marta was last seen alive.
As is stipulated by the Juvenile Law, Javier G.M., known as El Cuco, will take the stand behind closed doors, and it’s understood from Canal Sur that his trial will take place at the provincial court in Sevilla, rather than in the juvenile court.
Seventy four witnesses are called to give evidence in the case. Amongst them are the four adults who are charged in the case, including Marta’s ex boyfriend and her self-confessed murderer, Miguel Carcaño. The three others are Carcaño’s older brother, Francisco Javier Delgado, his girlfriend, María García, and Samuel Benítez."

SÁLVAME TOROS
Ya vaticinábamos el No, hace unas semanas, pero como pueden ver, el voto de tres personas, es suficiente para que el Ente Público no pueda emitir un espectáculo que interesa a más de 18 millones de españoles.
Y además alguna de esas personas que ha votado no, se deja ver con asiduidad, por las plazas de toros, como es el caso de algún diputado del PSOE, pero este partido se ha propuesto no ayudar a la tauromaquia, de momento, por mucho que Rubalcaba engañe a los toreros, enseñando la patita por debajo de la puerta y los diputados tienen que acogerse al no, por cajones. Ahora el PSOE dice no, ya veremos después de la debacle que se le avecina.
De CiU, ya lo sabemos todos, es el partido que prohíbe corridas de toros y blinda correbous. Se escudan, que en los correbous, el toro no muere. Que equivocados. El toro muere después a descargazo eléctrico en el matadero, pero como eso no se ve. Lo mismo pasan con sus castells, nunca nos enseñan cuando el niño cae y sus consecuencias. Hipocresía. Además que derecho de votación tiene este partido, si no se fija en toda España y solo mira por una región.
A 18 millones de españoles nos gustan los toros y tenemos derecho a que la televisión pública nos haga caso. También somos contribuyentes. Y a todos no nos gustan las motos, ni eurovisión, por poner dos ejemplos. Y que no me pongan la excusa del horario infantil, porque ese horario es la patraña más grande jamás contada. ¡Coño!, creemos el Sálvame Toros, que eso es apropiado para el horario.
"Rafaelillo", cogido de gravedad en Quito.
El diestro del Barrio del Carmen ha recibido una seria cornada del quinto de la tarde, un astado de la ganadería de Santa Coloma, bizco del pitón izquierdo y con un pitón derecho muy ofensivo, cuando se disponía a darle un pase de pecho tras la tanda de rodillas con la que ha iniciado la faena.
El resultado del percance ha sido una cornada profunda en la cara externa del muslo izquierdo, que provoca serios destrozos musculares, aunque afortunadamente no ha afectado a venas ni arterias principales.
En su primera actuación, Rafaelillo ha dejado una grata impresión, realizando una labor realmente meritoria al primero de la tarde, del que hubiera paseado una oreja si no hubiese fallado con la espada.
Su compañero Álvaro Samper ha pasado un mal trago intentando pasaportar al animal, llegando a escuchar los tres avisos.
Con el tercero, de Peñas Blancas, y el sexto, de Santa Coloma, el torero local ha desarrollado dos decentes actuaciones.
Por su parte, el rejoneador Andy Cartagena ha sido el triunfador del festejo, ya que ha paseado una oreja de cada uno de sus antagonistas, de la ganadería de Peñas Blancas.
Christopher Kinahan and his two sons, Christy Junior and Daniel walked out of the Albolote Prison in Granada on Friday
The alleged drug trafficker known as the ‘Irish Godfather’, Christopher Kinahan, has been granted bail by the judge, María del Carmen Gutiérrez Henares, in Court Number 3 in Estepona. She also authorised the release from prison for his two sons, Christy Junior and Daniel, with bail set at 60,000 € for each one of the three.
Reports indicate that they all left the Albolote prison in Granada on Friday
They have been held on remand since May when the police arrested them as part of an operation, codenamed Shovel, which extended across five countries.
Kinahan has been ordered to present himself to the court every Monday as part of the bail conditions, and has had his passport withdrawn. He is accused of heading a grand network of organised crime, which distributed drugs across Europe and offered money laundering services to other drug dealers.
Intelligence services from five countries took part in the Shovel operation, which saw some 30 arrests in Spain, Ireland and the UK. Most of the arrests were in Marbella, Estepona and Fuengirola. 60 properties worth 150 million € were impounded and the ownership of some 50 others in Brazil is being investigated.
Kinahan is also linked to the February 2008 shooting of a 28 year old in an Estepona urbanisation.
Police consider him to be highly intelligent and say that is why he has managed to appear distant from the criminal activities, although he has been sentenced in Ireland for both drug trafficking and financial crimes. Irish police say he spent his time in jail perfecting his Dutch and Spanish languages.
Si revitalizas el segundo tercio, Bienvenida.
Alain Bonijol ha presentado el prototipo de puya moderna que ha inventado y que varios picadores han probado a puerta cerrada, confirmando que se trata de una gran novedad. La Unión de Ciudades Taurinas ha dado paso para que se estudien los efectos de esta nueva puya durante la temporada próxima, y ha confirmado que si los resultados son positivos, se modificará el actual reglamento para generalizar el uso de esta puya, menos destructiva y más certera.
Siempre sacando soluciones. Si esta puya revitaliza el tercio de varas, daña menos al toro, acaba con el mono puyazo a cara perro y consigue que veamos tercios de varas por derecho, bienvenida sea y la empaquetamos también para España.
