UCO

Based on the provided articles, UCO (Unidad Central Operativa) is a police unit in Spain. They are newsworthy due to their involvement in solving the disappearance and murder of Francisca Cadenas, a woman who went missing in Hornachos, Badajoz, in 2017. Recent developments include the UCO uncovering evidence leading to the arrest of two brothers, Julián and Manuel González, as suspects in the case. The UCO's investigation involved thorough searches of the brothers' property and overcoming their seemingly impenetrable alibis, even after extensive questioning. The case is significant because it brings closure to a long-unsolved crime that deeply affected the small community of Hornachos, where suspicion and fear lingered for nine years. The brothers, described as cold and calculating, are now in prison, having been attacked by other inmates.
