Weapons and ammunition seized during the arrest of an international drug gang in Spain.
The international drug gang used rental cars to transport drugs from Spain to Belgium. A police questioning led to the arrest of around twenty people in Seville and Malaga. The people were allegedly involved in an organization that focused on drug trafficking between Spain and Belgium.
A joint investigation was conducted by the Civil Guard and the national police. The gang was primarily based in Seville. Local vendors had passed drugs to the gang who then used rapid transportation methods including the use of high-powered cars to smuggle drugs.
The agents carried out multiple searches and discovered 475 marijuana plants and more than 8,000 euros. Officers also seized 725 kilograms of hashish as well as three vehicles, weapons and ammunition.
An investigation has been opened after Belgian authorities informed Spain that drugs were being trafficked into the country. The investigation began in 2020. Investigators found that the group had members based in Malaga and Jaen in Spain.
They used fast cars to transport marijuana and hashish. The gang had used a rental car company for the sole purpose of transporting drugs.
Several members of the gang have been arrested in Spain. Belgian and French authorities also made multiple arrests. Five vehicles, two pistols, a stolen motorcycle and eight stolen vehicles were also seized. Thousands of euros were also recovered.
