Two uniformed men arrived at the house of Cañizares with a search warrant, since, according to them, they claimed to have information that he was storing cattle meat in his house. After carrying out the police search without any success, they proceeded to arrest him and transfer him to the detention center known as Operaciones, where he remained under intense interrogation led by captain Ulises of the Technical Investigations Department (DTI).
