It was six in the morning when a squad of Mossos d’Esquadra and national police broke down the door of the L’Anoia farmhouse where he was hiding. Carlos Navarro, ‘el Yoyas’former Big Brother contestant and wanted by police since November 2022 to go to prison for sentences totaling almost seven years: habitual abuse of his ex-partner, Fayna Bethencourt, injuries, threats and harassment, among others.He had hidden like few murderers and rapists. We have never seen him in the months of surveillance, he did not even look out of the windows. And at night no light filtered in from inside the house. The drones have not managed to record it even once,” the head of Group II of Fugitives of the National Police, one of those responsible for the joint device, explains to ABC, as soon as the detainee is placed at the disposal of the Igualada court.
‘El Yoyas’ slept half naked when the agents have broken into the house. “If you had knocked on the door, I would have opened it,” he told them. She has neither resisted nor wanted to talk more. He is thin and emaciated, a consequence of the year and a half that he has been hiding. His only company was a stationary bike and a treadmill. The house was a mess: dirty, smelly, with the smell of joints and remains of beer and food cans, thrown here and there.
The house was sealed. The windows were always closed, with double blinds so that no light could filter in, day or night. Inside there were blinds, which in turn had been covered with a dark grey canvas. Perfect camouflage, in the middle of a property where there were two large dogs that other people looked after.
The key to finding him, although in an indicative way, has been his family. His father, his sister and his brother-in-law shared the task of bringing him groceries, large purchases, many in Mercadona bags, from time to time. He has also had his current girlfriend visit him on occasion. He would enter with a key, spend several hours and then leave. Not a noise or a clue. Around there are other farmhouses, but all with extensions of land around them, with their backs to other people’s eyes.
«We have monitored murderers and rapists with sentences of 25 years and this one has surpassed them in camouflage. He hid almost like ‘Pollo Carvajal'”, says the Fugitive inspector. They and the Mossos are convinced that Navarro has rotated through several hiding places since a judge in Las Palmas issued a search and arrest order in November 2022, always with family coverage. The farmhouse he was in belongs to a friend. He probably also knew who was hiding in his house.
The Las Palmas judge, after collecting numerous evidence from the joint location team, authorized the entry and detention, but not the search. It was not necessary, given that Navarro will go directly to prison for the firm sentences he has accumulated for the habitual mistreatment of his ex Fayna Bethencourt. The Criminal Court 5 of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria issued an order decreeing the search and capture of Navarro for his immediate entry into prison after disregarding the request of the Peace Court of Vilanova del Camí (Barcelona) on November 14 of 2022 to voluntarily enter prison.
After escaping from justice, He dedicated himself to offending and attacking his ex-partner and making fun of the system that persecuted him. The agents took it as an offense against the law and went after him. Everyone recognizes that it has made it difficult for them. No phones, no cards, no showing your head, not a single image, which is one of the clues they usually provide to judges when looking for a fugitive.
His cocky and provocative image that everyone had on their retinas collapsed as soon as they saw him this morning. Servile, very thin, emaciated due to the lack of light and air… The joint Mossos and Police team has worked like clockwork. The offense, especially to Fayna, is over. Navarro is now at the disposal of the Igualada guard court.
