The leader of the group was an Albanian, a well-known name to the Spanish police as he had earlier committed other robberies. 4 people were arrested. The group is believed to have committed at least 14 robberies in various Spanish provinces, media in Spain say.
Among the victims of thieves are well-known La Liga players, who are part of teams like Real Madrid or Atletico. The operation resulted in the arrest of 4 persons, M.Z., S.Z., J.A. of Albanian nationality and A.J.B., of Spanish nationality.
They are charged with a number of criminal offenses such as involvement in organized crime, theft of residential property, possession of stolen goods, theft of motor vehicles, etc. Meanwhile, another Albanian man is wanted after being charged with robbery. The group has also robbed a number of luxury vehicles.
The group allegedly committed house robberies not only in Spain but also in their home countries where they returned after the robberies. Members of the robber's gang acted "smartly" by changing phone numbers in order not to be "caught" by investigators. The police managed to discover stolen luxury vehicles, computers, etc.
