One of Europe's most elusive drug trafficking networks has been taken down in a massive international operation, led by Spanish authorities with support from Europol, Interpol, and multiple European police forces. Over 500 officers were involved in synchronized raids across Spain, France, and Germany. The criminal organization was smuggling hashish and cocaine across Europe using camouflaged trucks, narco-boats, and convoys, while laundering millions through luxury properties, shell companies, and offshore accounts. Authorities seized over 2 tons of drugs, luxury cars, weapons, and real estate, with 17 people arrested, most already behind bars. This high-impact bust not only dismantles a major supply route, but also strikes at the heart of the gang’s financial empire. 📰 Source: Reporte Capital (Spain)
