Authorities have detained 64 suspects for drug trafficking and money laundering in an operation that seized over 2.7 million GBP in assets. The seizures occurred in different locations in the southern Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia and targeted a group known as ‘Los Pinchos’. The operation, which lasted over a year, was led by the Spanish Civil Guard in cooperation with Europol dubbed ‘Tortilla’ and was just reported by authorities yesterday (Sunday). A police report read: “The Civil Guard, in collaboration with Europol, have seized eight tons of hash from the organisation, six boats and 16 vehicles and the value of seized accounts and effects in the property ascends to three million EUR (2.77 million GBP).” The group is thought to have acquired the boats from a business that belonged to one of its members using the identities of people in financially desperate situations to avoid detection.
