Amargo, who is facing a tax request for nine years in prison, was arrested on December 1, 2020 along with his partner and two other people in the framework of the Codax operationwhose name means ‘raven’ in Latin and is nicknamed that way because of an image of the dancer on her Instagram in which she appears with the wings of this species of bird.

After declaring, those arrested were released with precautionary measures, such as the withdrawal of their passports, the prohibition to leave the national territory and the obligation to go to court every fortnight. Something unfair according to Rafa, who has charged the authorities on several occasions for the impossibility of working abroad: “I have lost jobs, such as a shoot in Bollywood and an edition of survivors“.

He added that both “delivered the substances to the place where the client indicated, for which he used his trusted man, another of Amargo’s partners, knowing what he was carrying. After making the corresponding delivery, he returned to the home to deliver the money obtained from the sale”. Likewise, the surveillance devices that were established at the artist’s home reflect “how numerous people came who, after accessing it and remaining inside for a few minutes, left again in a hurry, the agents proceeding to identify two of them, intervening narcotic substances that had been acquired at said address, drawing up the corresponding arrest records”.

During the search at Amargo’s home, the agents seized three bottles of Popper substance (alkyl nitrites), a bag of phenylethylamine with a net weight of 0.089 grams and a bottle with 6 milliliters of GBL, with a market value of 314.19 euros in its sale by grams.
