The National Police have announced the successful conclusion of a three-year operation against organised crime in Madrid, against clans of criminals who controlled the city’s nightlife through extortion and for drug dealing. There have been 150 arrests during the various phases of the operation, with 27 million € in cash recovered from the suspects, goods to the value of another 75 million € seized, and 300 kilos of cocaine confiscated by police. A network of companies which were set up to launder the gangs’ proceeds from the drugs they brought into Spain from South America has also been identified. El Mundo newspaper reports that two of the suspects planned to purchase a cargo terminal at the airport in Ciudad Real and use it to smuggle in up to ten tons of cocaine every month. Police aborted the deal just as it was on the point of going through.
