Spanish police break up Mediterranean human trafficking ring
The Spanish police have dismantled one of the largest human smuggling networks across the Mediterranean Sea. Seventy-eight individuals were arrested, and eighteen fast boats were seized. The network used a boat to smuggle drugs from Spain to Algeria, then clandestinely transported migrants from the Algerian coast to Spain. Over 2,000 people were smuggled in exchange for approximately $28 million. The journeys were carried out under dangerous conditions, with migrants packed into fast boats amid turbulent seas. The police identified four of those detained as the leaders of the network, which, according to the investigation, organized smuggling operations responsible for 64 crossings.
