On February 23, 1981, military personnel attempted a coup at the Congress but were arrested, with several incarcerated. Then, on May 23, 1981, eleven men robbed the Central Bank of Barcelona, taking 200 people hostage. Initially, authorities considered it a typical bank robbery. However, they soon realized that this armed group was not just after money; they demanded the release of four military officials involved in the coup three months earlier.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"who-stars-in-operation-banco-central-\">Who Stars in <em>Operation Banco Central<\/em>?<\/h2>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li><strong>Miguel Herr\u00e1n<\/strong><\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><strong>Mar\u00eda Pedraza<\/strong><\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><strong>Hovik Keuchkerian<\/strong><\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><strong>Isak Ferriz<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>\n    <\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"where-to-watch-operation-banco-central-streaming-\">Where to Watch <em>Operation Banco Central<\/em> Streaming?<\/h2>\n<p>The mini-series <em>Operation Banco Central<\/em> is available for streaming on Netflix since November 8, 2024.
