Italian police find drugs with faces of Mafia bosses
Spanish police have made a major bust in the northwestern region of Galicia, arresting 13 suspects and seizing four tons of cocaine. The drug-smuggling organization was said to be the largest in the area and had an extensive fleet of boats and speedboats stowed away at various locations between northern Portugal and Pontevedra. The gang consisted of experienced sailors who worked with national and international smugglers to bring cocaine shipments by sea into Europe.
Galicia's rugged Atlantic coast has long been known as a gateway for illegal drugs entering Europe due to its hundreds of hidden coves, desolate beaches, and inlets that make it difficult for authorities to track down smuggling operations. In November last year, Spanish police intercepted a narco-submarine off the Galician coast carrying three tons worth €100 million ($110 million) - marking the first time such technology had been discovered on European shores.
Meanwhile, Europol announced another significant operation against drug trafficking networks between Brazil and Europe resulting in 45 arrests across several countries worldwide this past Friday morning. Over one thousand officers conducted searches leading up to these arrests while also confiscating more than 52 tons worth millions from law enforcement agencies along with luxury vehicles (70), aircraft (37), frozen assets belonging ten individuals based out Spain alone as part their efforts combating organized crime syndicates globally.
