Dubai authorities seize 44 detainees and 21 tons of cocaine
Spanish authorities, in cooperation with Ecuadorian police and coordinated by Europol, have dismantled an international criminal network involved in smuggling cocaine into Europe. They arrested 44 individuals and seized 21 tons of drugs. The network relied on funding from investors in Dubai and used commercial shipping containers—primarily from the port of Guayaquil in Ecuador—to hide cocaine within shipments of goods, including bananas, on maritime routes heading to Spain. The investigations took several years, beginning in Ecuador in March 2025, and resulted in raids and arrests aimed at stopping extensive smuggling operations and protecting Europe from large quantities of drugs entering the continent.
