I'm curious to hear his explanation (head of anti-fraud department with unusual approach to home insulation)

Spanish police arrest ex-fraud chief after €20m found in walls of his house

Investigation into country’s largest cocaine bust reveals cash in home of former head of anti-money laundering

Spain has arrested one of its top police officers after €20m (£17m) was found hidden in the walls of his house, as part of an investigation into the country’s largest-ever cocaine bust.

Óscar Sánchez Gil was until recently the head of the fraud and anti-money laundering division of Spain’s national police force in Madrid.

Officers arrested him last week along with 15 other people, including his romantic partner, who is also a police officer in the Madrid region, a police source said without naming her.

During the raid, police found the €20m, in cash, hidden in the walls and ceilings of the couple’s home in Alcalá de Henares, a town of about 195,000 inhabitants located 18 miles (30km) east of the Spanish capital.

Officers also found €1m in his office, hidden in two locked cupboards, in bills of €50-500, according to the police source.

I'm sure he has a perfectly good explanation. Cavity-wall insulation?

The money was just resting there, awaiting being sent to the laundry? He is the head of the "fraud division" after all, so I suppose he was only fulfilling its remit.

I wonder what the R value of twenty million is?

With the price of Roxul these days maybe this was cheaper?
