This is the largest operation in the area after the one developed in November 2023.

As a result, the final phase of the operation was carried out, with searches that allowed the discovery of more than 19 kilos of cocaine, significant amounts of hashish and marijuana, a pistol, 15 precision scales and 365,000 euros in cash as a result of the investigated activity, all of them sufficient evidence to present the suspects to the judicial authority
