The Dean of Dénia, Javier Reyes, has been recognized by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) with the first Prize of Good Practices in international criminal assistance, created by agreement of its Standing Committee of the past 3 of June.
With this distinction, the CGPJ intends "recognize and distinguish the judge or magistrate who has excelled in improving, through good practice, the quality of international criminal judicial assistance".
To award this prize, the commission has valued "the novel investigation techniques and the coordinated use of international cooperation legal mechanisms in two operations against drug trafficking instructed by the magistrate and in which there were international elements not only European, but also from other geographical areas such as Morocco or Latin America".
During the investigation, the Dean of Dénia also went to Ameripol, a very innovative police cooperation mechanism, at the same time that he issued several judicial pronouncements regarding novel investigative techniques, such as the intervention of foreign undercover agents in Spanish territory and the " sounding "-intervention of communications- of several vehicles traveling from England to Alicante.
Reyes also made use of other mechanisms such as extradition requests, rogatory commissions, cession of jurisdiction in favor of foreign courts and processing of European Arrest and Deportation Orders.
