Spanish police dismantle drug money‑laundering network in Malaga

The Guardia Civil arrested a Spanish national in Mijas, Malaga, as part of operation “Pecunia,” targeting the laundering of narcotics profits. The suspect, subject to a European Arrest Warrant issued by Denmark, had used property purchases and vehicle‑for‑service (VTC) licences to move illicit funds. During raids on homes in Mijas and Benalmádena, authorities seized €199,730 in cash, luxury watches, jewellery, four vehicles, a taser pistol and electronic devices, as well as several VTC licences linked to companies. The investigation, conducted jointly by the Malaga Civil Guard command and Danish police, follows the earlier “Causa” operation against drug trafficking. The detainee has been transferred to the Audiencia Nacional in Madrid pending trial.
