Overview

  • Raids focused on O Salnés, with eleven searches in areas such as Cambados, Baión and Godos, and related actions in Madrid.
  • The operation was led by the Organized Crime Team (ECO) of the Pontevedra Guardia Civil with support from the UCO.
  • Authorities detained six suspects in O Salnés and four in Madrid, including a Colombian resident in the area reported as a key figure.
  • International cooperation included Portugal’s Polícia Judiciária, the DEA, Europol, and authorities from the Dominican Republic and Italy.
  • Sources indicate the probe has links to cocaine moved by sea into Portugal, with a recent Portuguese seizure possibly triggering the action, and further arrests remain possible.
