Joakim Peter Broberg, stepson of Marbella Mayor Ángeles Muñoz (PP), is on trial in the National Court for allegedly participating in an international drug trafficking network that transported cocaine from Spain to Northern Europe. According to the investigation’s chief inspector, Broberg was an intermediary between Swedish criminal organisations and Spanish and Moroccan suppliers. This police officer claims to have given drugs to drug clans in the Scandinavian country.
During the trial, he stated that Broberg “personally negotiated with clients” and provided samples of marijuana and hashish. His associate, Roberto Bayona, oversaw the deliveries. The inquiry began in 2019 after Swedish officials sought surveillance of individuals under investigation in their country. The subsequent wiretaps and monitoring revealed Broberg’s alleged participation as a key figure in narcotics trafficking from the Costa del Sol.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office charges him with three crimes: narcotics trafficking, bribery, and money laundering. For them, it seeks 22 years in prison and a fine of more than 30 million euros. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, Broberg delivered marijuana to France and maintained links with networks such as that of the EncroChat user “Canaryegg,” who is reportedly related to drug trafficking in Morocco. In addition, he is accused of having contacts with Rafael Gallego, a Marbella Local Police officer who allegedly provided him with classified information in exchange for money.
Broberg is accused of using two real estate offices in the Plaza de Marbella shopping centre to launder cocaine money. The prosecution also links his late father, Lars Gunnar Broberg, to the conspiracy. Broberg is being prosecuted in the same case. In October 2022, Judge Manuel García Castellón indicted over 30 individuals for their involvement in a network organised by Swedish citizens based on the Costa del Sol.
