Civil Guard agents in Murcia, in the operation called "UNDERGROUND", developed over the past months, have arrested a total of five people in relation to the formation of the illegal dumping of waste on a farm planted with lemon trees in the municipality the town of Abanilla (Murcia).
The five detainees are accused of crimes against the environment and natural resources, endangering the integrity of the people, the quality of air, soil, water animals and plants, the work of recovery and disposal of waste.

The residues were immediately engulfed by heavy machinery specifically dedicated to such work in order to prevent discovery.
In fact, the cavity made for the burial of the waste was practically silted.
Of the actions taken by investigators show that the company now stopped collecting garbage from a treatment plant in the province of Alicante with the initial purpose of transferring them to a legal landfill in the town of Abanilla.

However, the waste is not reached their legal destination, but were diverted to the field of lemon trees, where it proceeded to its immediate burial.
According to research, the amounts diverted to illegal landfill, which lacks any kind of authorization, would be several thousand tons.
