Law enforcement and migration activities in Spain and Latin-

Overview

Law enforcement operations across Spain and several Latin American nations have focused on diverse criminal activities and migration management. Initial reports highlighted widespread arrests related to violent crimes, drug trafficking, and theft. Specific actions included the dismantling of drug distribution points in Spain, the disruption of the ‘Los Domiciliarios’ gang in Colombia, and the sentencing of individuals linked to the Gulf Cartel in Mexico. In the Dominican Republic, authorities reported the detention of 3,894 irregular migrants and the deportation of 2,980 individuals over a single weekend. Narcotics enforcement has seen continued activity in the Caribbean and South America. In the Dominican Republic, a 24-year-old Spanish national was arrested at Punta Cana International Airport after canine units alerted officers to a suitcase containing 20 packages of suspected cocaine. In Paraguay, the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) and the DNIT intercepted international shipments from the United States, including a package from Miami and a shipment from California hidden in insecticide containers and baby bottle sterilizers. Weekly seizures of ‘VIP’ marijuana from the U.S. have reached approximately 20 kilograms, with values exceeding USD 280,000. Recent operations in Argentina include dismantling a drug sales point near a school in Puerto Madryn, seizing 35 kilograms of cocaine in the Puna region, and arresting a suspected gang member in Rosario. In Peru, a man known as “Ventarrón” was captured in coordination with the DEA for alleged drug trafficking. Other regional activities include the detention of a man for cutting fiber optic cables in Formosa, Argentina, and the recovery of a 14-year-old girl found alive but bound in Arroyos y Esteros, Paraguay. Recent developments include a joint operation in Mexico’s Chietla region, where authorities arrested Norberto N., the alleged leader of the ‘Los Pelones’ gang, alongside Noel N., known as ‘El Tarrito.’
