The drug was smuggled underwater from Africa to the Iberian Peninsula with a drone
Madrid – Unique underwater drones suitable for transporting narcotics have been seized by the Spanish authorities in southern Andalusia.
Drones and smaller semi-submersible submarines were found in several warehouses in the Castellar de la Frontera area, the release said. The internal design made it possible to smuggle up to 200 kilograms of drugs through the Strait of Gibraltar to Europe by remote control.
As it turns out, a separate criminal gang in the region specializes in producing new types of devices equipped with secret compartments suitable for drug smuggling on the order of Spanish and international criminal organizations.
Of the three unique drones recovered from the warehouse, two were in a semi-finished state, while one had already been completed and would have been sold to French drug smugglers.
According to his report, the investigation began in April of last year, and ten vehicles were found in which there were specially designed hiding places for the drug. During eight house searches, 150 kilograms of drugs and 157,000 euros in cash were seized.
Eight people were detained in Málaga, Cádiz and the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta in North Africa, six of whom have already been remanded in custody and are suspected of drug trafficking and participation in a criminal organization.
