For several weeks the police verified the movement of people who went to the apartment of the Granada man identified as Jesus Rafael Garcia Hernandez. They were also able to tap the artist’s phone, where they verified how he agreed to deliver substances such as popper, cocaine, and methamphetamine in exchange for various amounts of money with the people with whom he previously made appointments by phone.
It is not the first time that Amargo has been under police watch.

The trial for this cause will be held next June for the alleged commission of a crime against public health for the alleged sale at his own home of narcotic substances to third parties in a “persistent” manner in exchange for money.
The last time the choreographer reappeared before the media was on February 20 and, precisely, he spoke about said trial and defended his innocence. “Happy, calm, living in Alicante, in front of the sea.
