Guardia Civil’s Córdoba Drug Raids Net 24 Arrests as Baena Suspects Freed Pending Probe

The seven Baena detainees were released with charges under monthly reporting orders.

Overview

  • In the past month, four coordinated macro-operations targeted trafficking networks in Palma del Río, Baena, Bujalance and Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo.
  • Authorities report 24 arrests and 18 home searches with seizures of heroin, cocaine, crack and cash, with some quantities still being quantified.
  • More than 150 specialized agents from URS and USECIC took part alongside local posts, helicopters, drones and the canine unit.
  • The Baena case remains open as the judge set monthly court appearances for the seven detainees and the prosecutor did not seek additional precautionary measures, according to the TSJA.
  • Separately, Granada’s command reports a record year with 560+ anti‑marijuana actions and an average daily seizure of over 500 plants, alongside reinforced judicial and anti–money-laundering capacity.
