Jonathan Yera Pozo arrested in Punta Cana in international drug ring bust

Spanish national Jonathan Yera Pozo has been arrested in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, as part of the international law enforcement operation ‘Fast Lap’. The operation, coordinated by authorities in the Dominican Republic, Spain, the United States, and Europol, targeted a transnational criminal network involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.

Investigators revealed that the organization used maritime containers to transport cocaine from Colombia and Panama to Europe. To launder the proceeds, the group utilized a business structure to invest in luxury real estate and high-end developments in Spain.

During simultaneous raids across multiple countries, including 38 searches, Spanish authorities arrested 27 individuals. Law enforcement also seized high-end vehicles, firearms, and electronic devices, including cryptocurrency cold wallets used for illicit financial transactions.
