LAUREANO OUBIÑA: El Narco Gallego que Pasó 33 Años en Prisión y Volvió

Laureano Oubiña, alias "El Pajarito" (The Little Bird), was one of the biggest drug traffickers in Spanish history. The patriarch of the Galician drug cartels spent more than 33 years behind bars, saw his emblematic Pazo Baión estate confiscated by the state, lost his wife and almost his entire fortune. And, at almost eighty years old, he reappeared before the cameras without the slightest trace of remorse. In this episode of Investigation Summary, we reconstruct his complete story: his origins as the son of shopkeepers in Cambados, his leap from tobacco smuggling to hashish and cocaine, his role in Judge Garzón's Operation Nécora in 1990, his escape and arrest in Greece in 2000, the transformation of Pazo Baión into a cooperative winery and rehabilitation center, his legal battle against the Fariña series, which he lost before the Supreme Court in 2025, and his recent acquittal and controversial public reappearance. 🔎 After more than three decades in prison and having lost almost everything, does Laureano Oubiña regret it? His latest statements suggest not. Leave your opinion in the comments. And tell us which Galician boss you'd like us to cover in the next episode: Manuel Charlín and his family, or Marcial Dorado. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 - The Reappearance of an Old Drug Lord 01:30 - Cambados: The Shopkeepers' Son 04:00 - From Tobacco Smuggling to Drugs 07:00 - The Patriarch and Pazo Baión 10:00 - Operation Nécora 1990 13:00 - Operation Sunset: The Escape and Greece 16:00 - Pazo Baión: From Drug Trafficking to Reparation 18:30 - Fariña and the Supreme Court 20:30 - Acquittal, Reappearance, and Current Status 11:00 PM - The Unanswered Question ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 SOURCES · Carretero, N.
