International drug gang disrupted in Ireland, operated in Spain

Eight individuals have been arrested for participation in international drug trafficking, two of which were stopped in the Dublin airport in Ireland for carrying 500 grams of cocaine hidden in their clothing. Five of the suspects were Colombian, two were Spanish, and one was Ecuadorian. The two arrested in Dublin were women. Police raided two houses in Spain and found 10 grams of cocaine, 800 marijuana leaves and buds, precision scales, ski masks, cell phones, an imitation gun, and other tools for handling drugs. The group is believed to have engaged in drug deals in Torrevieja, Spain, in the Alicante province. According to the Seguridad Semanal’s report, the group had the infrastructure necessary to engage in large-scale international drug trafficking. The remaining five members were arrested after an investigation that began several months before the capture. Read Article
