A multi-year Guardia Civil investigation has brought down a gang of cocaine importers that was shipping in illegal substances in shipping containers, docking in Valencia. The drugs, coming out of South America, were hidden among legitimate imports like fruit.
More than €600,000 in cash was recovered in Guardia Civil raids across Valencia Province. Four Spaniards have been arrested and charged with drug trafficking, smuggling and money laundering.
The gang leader was detained in Valencia last Tuesday. All suspects have been jailed; more arrests are not being ruled out. Seven addresses in Chiva, Paterna, and Valencia were raided in early October.
