A raid on a drug trafficking gang in the south-west by Spanish police has led to the arrest of 50 suspects.
According to the police, the group was allegedly supplying several European countries with cocaine and hashish.
Police Guardia Civil confirmed the development on Tuesday, saying seven tons of drugs were seized.
The so-called Operation Castle, launched in 2022, involved cooperation of security authorities from France, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Europol.
The gang was selling narcotics coming from Morocco and Latin America to large parts of Europe from the provinces of Huelva and Cádiz, but also had locations in Portugal and the Canary Islands.
In total, almost two tons of cocaine and 4.8 tons of hashish were confiscated. In addition, two speedboats, six vehicles, electronic devices and a large amount of communication equipment were seized.
