Juan José CM, alias Juanjito or el Morritos (Madrid, 1982), entered temporary prison after the national police arrested him last Thursday evening, during football training at his Goya sports club, in the neighborhood. … from Latin. The subject is accused of being the instigator of the kidnapping of the very dangerous butronero Juan María GP, 39 years old, resident of Usera and known as Niño Juan. ABC has learned that among the 23 previous criticisms of Morritos, there is one very surprising one: he was arrested years ago after the assault on a jewelry store in Asturias. He was accompanied by three other criminals, including Rafá Zouhier, convicted of the attacks of March 11, 2004 in Madrid. The Moroccan terrorist was sentenced to 10 years in prison and, after serving his sentence, deported to his home country.
Juanjito was 19 years old when, on September 18, 2001, he went with Zouhier and two other Madrid residents to the Parque Principado shopping center. There, using the moon landing method, they blew up the Luna de Oro jewelry store, in which they recovered 24,000 euros worth of precious stones. But the Civil Guard of Madrid had located them (Zouhier was a police confidant) and had warned their counterparts in Gijón, who chased them a few hours later near Puente los Fierros, on the national road 630. During a chase, there were two exchanges of fire between the parties.
Juanjito, in addition to the possible terrorist, was arrested together with Francisco Javier BA, currently 47 years old, and Nordin AM, from Melilla, of the same age as the previous one, according to the report. The latter, moreover, has also been known for years in the world of attacks in Madrid, controlled by group XXI of the Madrid judicial police. This subject of Arab origin is based in Orcasitas (coincidentally, the same area as Usera del Niño Juan).
Following this 2001 operation, Zouhier entered Villabona prison until February 2002. It was there that he established ties with Antonio Toro and his brother-in-law, Emilio Suárez Trashorras, key figures in the Mina Conchita plot, where the explosives that ended up in the hands of the Islamists came from. All three were then confidants of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard.
The patrollers of the Usera-Villaverde Operational Response Group (GOR) who chained Morros a week ago knew who they were targeting: the criminal, although apparently retired from forced thefts, had a very recent complaint for having kidnapped Niño Juan. It is not for nothing that Juanjito comes from the Opañel neighborhood, in Carabanchel, very close to the place of the kidnapping. He knows the region perfectly and it is very likely that, like his enemy, he has been involved in the world of drug trafficking and “overthrows” for some time.
In fact, one of these drug robberies, specifically a stash of 1,200 kilos of cocaine, is the reason he and his gang had Juan in their crosshairs. They accused him of stealing the huge shipment from Mérida, from a “daycare” or from a truck. The fact that they only released him after beating him suggests that perhaps the Child convinced them that he was not behind this operation.
Investigations aimed at fully clarifying the facts remain open. It was not revealed, for example, the burrow where the butronero was held, nor who were those who accompanied Morros during the kidnapping. It is suspected that it was at a point between the provinces of Madrid and Toledo.
Regardless, Juan María and his entourage remained very afraid and hid. Their main places of residence are Orcasitas, Almendrales and Pinto. Although the criminal is also linked to several plots of land in Cañada Real, where Belén, his girlfriend, also known as Casandra, resides. And he started a hookah business in the south of Madrid.
