Almost 50 people have been arrested in an international operation targeting a Western Balkan drug trafficking network linked to killings, kidnappings and grenade attacks across Europe, according to Europol. Police moved against nearly 50 suspects as part of the crackdown on an organised group allegedly involved in serious violence and trafficking offences. Authorities say the suspected network used cross-border criminal activity, with links to killings, kidnappings and grenade attacks in multiple European countries. The operation resulted in arrests during police action against the suspects as investigators targeted the group’s drug trafficking activities. The latest status is that the suspects have been arrested, with the investigation continuing as police press ahead with the case.
