Undercover Drug Ring Dismantled at Madrid Airport: 190 Kilos of Cocaine Seized

Spanish police have successfully dismantled a drug trafficking ring operating at Madrid-Barajas Airport, resulting in ten arrests and the seizure of 190 kilograms of high-purity cocaine. The group employed a cunning tactic: members disguised themselves as police officers to blend in and collect drug shipments from Latin America. Their operation involved recruiting economically vulnerable individuals with promises of substantial financial rewards. This deception allowed them to move significant quantities of cocaine through airport security undetected. The operation involved a coordinated effort between the Guardia Civil and the Policía Nacional. "This was a complex operation requiring extensive surveillance and investigation," stated a spokesperson for the Guardia Civil. The investigation revealed seven shipments linked to the group. Beyond the cocaine seizure, authorities also confiscated €150,000 in cash and a cryptocurrency wallet. This successful operation highlights the ongoing efforts of Spanish law enforcement to combat drug trafficking and protect national security. The dismantling of this network sends a clear message that such criminal activities will not be tolerated.
