Spain uncovers major smuggling network
Spanish authorities have dismantled one of the largest human smuggling networks across the Mediterranean, which was engaged in a dual operation involving drug trafficking and migrant transport. The operation resulted in the arrest of 78 individuals, the seizure of 18 speedboats, as well as large quantities of drugs and weapons. The network transported narcotics such as MDMA pills from Spain to Algeria, while using return trips to smuggle migrants. Hundreds of migrants faced significant dangers during the journeys, which were conducted at high speeds and in difficult weather conditions, with reports of their exploitation without adequate safety measures. Revenues from these activities exceeded 24 million euros. This operation is part of broader European efforts to combat trafficking networks across the Mediterranean.
