An old refrain has it that the cops have the best dope, which the following news only serves to confirm: the chief anti-drug officer for the Guardia Civil in Málaga has been arrested for drug trafficking.

Internal Affairs has so far arrested nine people, among whom counts at least one other Guardia Civil policeman. Investigations began last spring, which culminated in the haul of 1,400 kilos of Lebanese blonde hash (Cheech & Chong will never be forgotten) last September on a Marbella beach.
