A priest from Don Benito (Badajoz) and his romantic partner were arrested as part of an operation against the sale of Viagra and other powerful aphrodisiacs. According to the sources of the investigation, this priest, well known in the community of more than 37,000 inhabitants and belonging to the parish of San Sebastián, enjoyed great popularity among neighbors because of his closeness to the citizens and for his particular way of exercising the priesthood. There are a total of six priests in Don Benito and now all eyes are on him. After four hours of testimony in court, the priest was released on charges and his partner is currently in prison.
The arrests took place on Monday in the apartment that the priest shares with a man, his partner, which was known in the city. During the search, the Civil Guard officers confiscated a large amount of suggestive, ready-to-sell material that this priest was allegedly distributing to his clients. The investigation began months ago when the Guardia Civil became aware of the alleged substance sales by both the priest and the other man.
After appropriate follow-up investigations, the agents checked the movement of people who visited this house with the intention of purchasing the products irregularly. Those arrested were initially accused of the crime of illegal trafficking in substances harmful to health. The government delegate in Extremadura, José Luis Quintana, only confirmed that the Guardia Civil had arrested two people, but declined to provide further details as the investigation is still ongoing. Those arrested were brought before the court at around 11:00 a.m. and spent just over four hours testifying. The priest was later released on charges.
The Diocese of Plasencia, which includes the parishes of Don Benito, regrets the arrest of this priest “because of the pain, suffering and scandal that these events represent” and points out that it is “awaiting the clarification of the matter”. .

In addition, they report that they “pay careful attention to development, with care and respect for the people involved.” Faced with this situation, the Diocese of Plasencia shows its “willingness to cooperate in whatever is necessary and necessary” and “to face the appropriate measures,” he concludes.
