A Spanish-led investigation supported by Europol has successfully dismantled one of the largest criminal networks in the Western Mediterranean. The operation resulted in 78 arrests, targeting a group involved in extensive smuggling activities. The network trafficked cannabis, synthetic drugs, migrants, weapons, and fugitives across the region. Beyond smuggling, the organization was linked to several other serious crimes. These activities included violent robberies, extortion, and illegal detentions. The group also engaged in complex money laundering schemes to hide their profits. This operation highlights the effectiveness of newly established Europol frameworks in combating transnational crime.
