In a significant law enforcement operation codenamed "BOAN," six individuals were arrested today in Spain. The group was allegedly involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, electricity fraud, and membership in a criminal organization.
The arrested individuals, five men and one woman, range in age from 41 to 55 and hold Albanian and Colombian nationalities. The investigation began when the police discovered a waste container containing 36 kg of marijuana buds. Further inquiries revealed that the organization had a strong hierarchy, with its leader making monthly trips to London, where it was suspected he also resided.
As a result of the operation, five checks were conducted, targeting two residences and two industrial warehouses. A total of 125 kg of marijuana, a pistol, 4,000 euros in cash, and all the necessary supplies for cultivating and producing marijuana were seized, as local media reports.
The arrests highlight the international dimensions of organized crime and the collaboration between law enforcement agencies to combat such activities. The suspects are expected to face charges related to drug trafficking, money laundering, and participation in a criminal enterprise. The operation's success underscores the commitment of Spanish authorities to maintaining law and order and tackling illicit activities within the country.
