20 alleged operatives of the Jalisco Cartel were arrested in Spain, with authorities claiming they smuggled "large shipments of cocaine and methamphetamine" from South America.
CBS News noted that the drugs would then be distributed in Spain and other European countries. The investigation began earlier this year after police detected drugs being smuggled inside heavy machinery. The latest operation resulted in a seizure of 1.8 tons of cocaine, as well as cash, crypto, weapons and vehicles.
