According to The Montañés DiaryJonatan Valle, former soccer player for teams such as Racing de Santander and Leganés, has been arrested as the alleged perpetrator of a drug trafficking crime within the framework of a police operation that would have dismantled two criminal organizations. Information from the same media indicates that his arrest occurred last week, the same period in which his house was searched. The former midfielder is free on charges awaiting trial.
Among the material found are papers, precision scales used with narcotics and cash. ‘Operation Fire’ includes the arrest of ten other people, also in Santander, who have already been brought to justice.
Valle was considered an emerging talent from a very young age, winning the 1996 Brunete Tournament with Racing, an edition in which Andrés Iniesta also participated at the age of twelve, proclaiming himself MVP of the competition. However, the Cantabrian midfielder failed to climb to higher levels.
In “The Others of Brunete”, a report that reviews the fate of great promises who ultimately did not reach the elite, players like Canales or Lobo Carrasco are full of praise for the racing youth squad and value his unique talent. “He was a different player. He had brutal quality,” Andrés Iniesta assessed about Jonatan Valle.
Apart from Racing de Santander and Leganés, the Cantabrian played for Málaga, Ponferradina, Castellón, Rubin Kazán, Recreativo de Huelva, Lugo, Burgos and Bergantiños.
