Two Tons of Cocaine Seized in Algeciras

On March 5th, within the framework of the XELINSULAM-ALBACARES operation. The Guardia Civil seized 2 tons of cocaine hidden in tuna cans in a container from Ecuador, in Algeciras.

The operation began in February of last year, when agents became aware of a criminal network based in Castro Urdiales (Cantabria), dedicated to large-scale fraud against banking entities.

Continuing with the investigations, it was found that this organisation had brought a group of people, of Colombian origin, with the intention of creating a security nucleus and establishing the necessary logistics to introduce cocaine through the port of Algeciras.
