A drug trafficking investigation led by Spain’s National Police (Policía Nacional) and supported by Europol has resulted in the arrest of 21 suspects for offences including participation in a criminal organisation, drug trafficking and money laundering. The operation involved an action day in Spain on 22 July 2026, during which 15 suspects were arrested. In addition, Spanish authorities issued 19 international arrest warrants as part of the same case. The investigation is being handled through cooperation between Spanish authorities and Europol. Prosecuting and court outcomes are not described in the available information. Arrested suspects are considered accused only in the sense that they have been taken into custody during an investigation. Arrest does not mean guilt has been established through the relevant legal process. Further details of the network’s activities, the scale of any suspected proceeds, and the next steps in the legal proceedings are not included in the supplied report. The case highlights ongoing efforts by European law enforcement to tackle links between drug trafficking and suspected money laundering.
