Há explosivos fabricados em Portugal a serem desviados para Espanha para fins lícitos e ilícitos. Foram já acusados 46 indivíduos.
Segundo o "Jornal de Notícias", a acusação incide sobre a "Moura Silva&Filhos", uma das maiores empresas de explosivos em Portugal, com sede em Póvoa do Lanhoso. Desta empresa, e provavelmente através de alguns funcionários, sairam tondeladas de explosivos à margem do controlo da PSP.

Spain employs murderer as security expert

A man who carried out one of the most notorious murders of Spain’s democratic transition is currently employed by the country’s interior ministry as a security expert, according to a newspaper exposé.
Emilio Hellin was a member of the far-right group Fuerza Nueva when he shot dead a student, Yolanda González (19), in 1980. Two years later he was sentenced to 43 years in jail, serving 14 years. (...)
The paper said Hellin (63) had changed his name to Luis Enrique Helling. He specialises in tracing mobile phones and computers that have been used for criminal purposes.
When he carried out the murder, the dictator Francisco Franco had died only five years earlier and the country was in a period of political turmoil as it adjusted to democracy. Political violence was common, but even so, the killing shocked Spain.
Hellin and several other members of Fuerza Nueva had erroneously identified González, a socialist sympathiser, as a member of Basque terrorist group ETA. They abducted her in Madrid, drove her to the outskirts of the city and Hellin shot her twice in the head.
One of the conspirators confessed to the crime, leading to Hellin’s arrest and 1982 conviction. Then in 1987, he fled to Paraguay while on a short prison leave. He and his family were taken in by the right-wing dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner and Hellin worked as an adviser to the Paraguayan security forces until his extradition to Spain three years later.
He was released in 1996, when he apparently changed his name and embarked on a new career leading to his current relationship with the security forces.
