The investigation, which commenced in July 2025, led to the identification of a group of individuals operating in the Community of Madrid and other provinces, distributing significant volumes of cocaine. Initial inquiries pinpointed a residence in San Sebastián de los Reyes, used as a drop-off point for drugs to other distribution groups.
As the operation progressed, the roles of each member of the organization were established, revealing that an individual residing in Madrid acted as the leader of the criminal network. This structure boasted sophisticated logistics for transporting illicit substances, utilizing vehicles equipped with false bottoms to conceal both drugs and illegally obtained money.
Furthermore, a property in Arganda del Rey was identified as a storage facility or “nursery” for large quantities of narcotics. This location was equipped with robust security measures to protect the merchandise.
“"The organization possessed a transport network for narcotic substances throughout Spanish territory, using vehicles equipped with false bottoms to store and conceal both the drugs and the illicitly obtained money."
The operation culminated in two phases with four searches conducted in Arganda del Rey, San Sebastián de los Reyes, and Madrid capital. During these interventions, authorities seized 179 kilograms of cocaine, 45 kilograms of hashish, 244,860 euros in cash, three short-barreled firearms with ammunition, and a hunting shotgun.
Six individuals were arrested for their alleged involvement in crimes against public health, illegal possession of weapons, and belonging to a criminal group. Following their appearance before a judge, all implicated parties were remanded in provisional prison.
