A National Police drugs operation has led to the arrest of four people in Palma and 29 in all; the other arrests have been in Alicante, Barcelona and Ciudad Real.
A Spanish-Bulgarian criminal gang had been transporting large quantities of marijuana and hashish to Hannover and Hamburg. It had acquired a truck tractor for this purpose, while a front company had been set up for the transport of declared cargo, mainly fruit and vegetables, from Spain to Germany. The gang had people in charge of different aspects of drugs production and distribution, including large marijuana plantations and warehouses. The latter, in Valencia, had 24-hour security.
"Operación Dátil" (Operation Date) involved various raids and the seizure of 100 kilograms of prepared and packaged marijuana buds, 4,727 marijuana plants, three high-end vehicles, and the truck.
