The Mossos d’Esquadra have dismantled a drug trafficking organization that supplied marijuana and cocaine to towns in Central Catalonia and also in northern Europe, with 21 detainees. The nucleus of the organization was made up of fifteen people, ” with clear leadership and established roles in a defined structure”. The detainees are related to several crimes, including belonging to a criminal organization, electricity fraud, illegal detention, against public health, and robbery with violence and intimidation. Those arrested were brought to justice on October 29 and the judge decreed provisional prison for two of them.
