Los agentes de la Policía Nacional tuvieron que partir miles de piezas con mazas buscando la droga que ocultaban
Los arrestados conformaban una organización criminal radicada en México, Colombia y España -con conexiones en Bélgica y Holanda- dedicados a la introducción de cocaína por vía marítima para su posterior distribución por la península
La organización estaba perfectamente jerarquizada: contaba con un líder en el extranjero encargado del envío de la droga y otro en España responsable de su recepción y distribución, además de con otros colaboradores se ocupaban del transporte, la guarda y custodia, conseguir vehículos caleteados o hacer de “hombres pantalla”
Registradas 28 viviendas y una nave industrial e intervenidos 20 vehículos -varios de ellos “caleteados”- y más de 200.000 euros en efectivo
La organización desmantelada está relacionada con los 62 kilos de cocaína aparecidos el pasado mes de enero en las playas de Denia y Xábia (Alicante) procedentes de un lanzamiento fallido de la droga adosada a bidones flotantes desde un buque mercante
