- Story Text: The Spanish National Court has launched an investigation into money laundering in a drug trafficking case, that included the raiding of the offices and home of lawyer Gonzalo Boye, a judicial source said on Monday (October 21).
According to various Spanish media, the operation is linked to the Galician drug dealer Sito Miñanco, whom Boye represents.
Boye, a lawyer involved in cases of special media relevance, is one of the lawyers of the Catalan separatist leader, Carles Puigdemont.
It was not possible to obtain immediate comments from Boye, while Puigdemont criticized the Spanish justice operation via Twitter, saying it was trying to hinder the work of the lawyer. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
