PROSECUTORS in Barcelona are requesting almost 11 years in prison for two police officers accused of helping a drug gang.

The two Mossos d’Esquadra members are accused of bribery, disclosure of secretes, and omitting to prosecute crimes.

Lawyers are seeking 10 years and eight moths prison time each, and four years in jail for a Guardia Civil officer accused of working with a gang of drug traffickers. In total, the drugs gang is thought to have trafficked 1,240 kilos of hashish, totalling €7.4 million.
