The Spanish police dismantled the cocaine hydrochloride processing macrolaboratory of the Albanian mafia, which was centralized in Cambrils.
The Albanian mafia connected with Colombian experts to prepare the drug, until the police intervened, arrested 8 people and seized more than 1000 kilograms of cocaine.
The 8 persons detained by the Spanish National Police, as explained by the police sources, are 6 of Albanian nationality and 2 of Colombian nationality. They were caught red-handed at the laboratory in the residential neighborhood of Vilafortuny, in Cambrils, which had a processing capacity of more than 1 ton of contaminated material yielding 400 kilograms of produce.
The police operation involved more than 30 agents from different police units, who arrested 8 people and seized 1,000 of cocaine, 6,000 liters of precursors, 25 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride, 70 kilograms of cocaine-based paste in various stages of production, 52 kilograms of marijuana and various machines, as well as 6,000 euros in cash and two vehicles. The investigation to get to this point began in April.
The Albanians took many security measures to avoid detection, so much so that during their travels, whether transporting drugs or not, they used several rental vehicles that were changed frequently to make it difficult to identify them. But although the precautions were very high, in one of the trips the National Police discovered how the investigators were going to a storage area to insert many transparent bottles labeled as dangerous substances.
This was the first sign that set off alarm bells. But there was more. Through international police coordination mechanisms, Colombian police authorities informed the National Police of the intention of two Colombians to move to Spain to work in a large cocaine laboratory run by Eastern European nationals, specifically Albanians. Soon after it was revealed that they had already met, meetings that were repeated for several weeks with strong surveillance measures. This proved the connection between the mafias of Colombia and those of the Balkan Peninsula.
All this led them to the large laboratory in Cambrils, which they managed from various points in the Barcelona area, from where the Albanians moved bags and boxes. The production center of the city of Tarragona was in Vilafortuny, a sparsely populated area that had all the qualities to refine and transport cocaine, being close to major routes to the rest of Spain and Europe. At the end of the police investigation, those arrested took greater security measures, traveling alone by motorbike and meeting with other members of various organizations in supermarket parking lots, for example.
The purity of the extracted cocaine was very high, around 98%. Something very special was also the modus operandi of installing cocaine extraction laboratories in Europe, allowing organizations to take fewer risks, since the contaminated substance is difficult to detect in controls and without the need to carry out transfers from Latin America, especially from hot countries from South America.
