An international police operation led by Spanish authorities has dismantled a major criminal network operating across the Western Mediterranean, resulting in 78 arrests. The syndicate was involved in trafficking migrants, drugs, and weapons.
According to the European Union police agency Europol and participating law enforcement, the operation targeted extensive smuggling activities. Police described the maritime crossings utilized by the network as extremely dangerous, noting that migrants were forced to travel crammed together at high speeds in rough sea conditions.
