Police action

The Spanish Civil Guard arrested 20 suspects after "dismantling" a gang that owned a cocaine laboratory capable of producing 100 kilograms of the drug every month.

A number of those arrested were considered by law enforcement as high-value targets for their involvement in multiple drug-trafficking cases, Europol reports. 

Guardia Civil officers, working alongside Europol and the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), seized 21 drums of liquid and solid chemicals used to extract and process cocaine after discovering the lab near Madrid.

The operation, which included searches of 27 properties in the provinces of Pontevedra, A Coruna and Madrid, also led to the seizure of €3 million in cash. Another 10 million euros of other assets were seized, such as luxury houses, vehicles and recreational vehicles.

The arrested persons, of whom 19 are Spanish nationals and one from Colombia, are suspected of importing tons of cocaine from South America to Spain using recreational vehicles. They are believed to have chartered sailboats to transport their illegal cargo to Europe./ CNA
