Spain law enforcement dismantles multiple criminal networks
Spanish law enforcement agencies, including the Guardia Civil and National Police, have conducted several major operations targeting various criminal activities across the country.
In Valencia, a criminal organization was dismantled after it was discovered they were using postal services to ship over 172 kilograms of drugs to 45 different countries. The investigation began following the seizure of MDMA in Ghana. The group operated a laboratory in the Valencian regions of La Costera and Canal de Navarrés.
In Elche, police dismantled an indoor marijuana plantation containing 255 plants, resulting in four arrests for drug trafficking and electricity fraud. Meanwhile, in Marbella, the Guardia Civil seized 1,124 kilograms of hashish from a high-speed boat.
Other notable incidents include the arrest of a man in Ibiza for using a stolen boat to transport 22 migrants to Formentera, and the interception of a passenger at Palma de Mallorca airport who was carrying cocaine internally. Additionally, a 20-year-old man in Granada was investigated for making 136 fraudulent credit card purchases totaling over 11,200 euros.
