Spanish police, in collaboration with the Netherlands, have dismantled an international drug trafficking network that laundered money through real estate investments on the Costa del Sol. The operation resulted in the arrest of five people, including a high-value target for Europol and the leader of the organization known as 'the financial architect of the Costa del Sol'. The network introduced cocaine shipments into Europe through Rotterdam and laundered at least four million euros. Seized items include firearms, a drone, jewels, high-end vehicles, and mobile phones.
