Spain takedown of Mediterranean smuggling ring
The Spanish authorities announced the dismantling of one of the largest human smuggling networks in the Mediterranean, which resulted in the smuggling of over two thousand migrants into Spain. The network used speedboats to transport drugs from Spain to Algeria, then returned carrying migrants along the southeastern coast of Spain and Ibiza Island. European police conducted operations in cooperation with other countries, leading to the seizure of 18 boats and the arrest of 78 individuals, with estimated profits for the network reaching 24 million euros. This operation is considered the largest in its field, at a time when Spain has seen an increase in illegal migration through new routes from Algeria.
