Cocaine trafficking: a vast global network dismantled

This is after a search of the Guardia Civilian in Spain that a lot of money was found in a villa. Also, a large number of suspicious identity documents as well as luxury cars were discovered. In Belgium, too, a large amount of silver was found. This vast sweep will have made it possible to dismantle international cocaine trafficking. 49 suspects were arrested in six different countries.

These arrests put an end to several years of investigation on the part ofEuropol. “It is the culmination of several months, we can even say several years, of work based on information that was partly recovered from encrypted messaging”says Jean-Philippe Lecouffe, director of operations at Europol. The cocaine arrived in France through the Channel ports, while the rear base of the cartel was located in Dubai.
