西班牙警方在巴塞罗那港口查获了藏在米袋里的4吨多可卡因。

这是该机构有史以来缴获的最大一起可卡因案件。

国民警卫队中央行动部(UCO)去年对一家西班牙公司展开了调查，该公司被指控从巴拉圭走私可卡因，伪装成大米运输。

调查发现，在塑料袋和米袋中藏匿了4020公斤可卡因。

这些麻袋是手工缝制的，目的是隐藏里面的非法物品。

这些集装箱于今年早些时候抵达巴塞罗那港口，但直到7月份走私者转移集装箱时才发现可卡因。

这次行动是由一个走私团伙实施的，其成员来自巴拉圭、西班牙和英国。

该组织由进出口专家、为物流提供资金的投资者以及保护活动免受暴力和执法审查的安全专业人员组成。

8人被捕，其中包括该公司在西班牙的管理者。

当局在加的斯、马德里、塞维利亚和托莱多进行了五次突击搜查，对另外五名嫌疑人进行了调查。

英国和巴拉圭当局还缴获了与同一犯罪网络有关的大量毒品。

2023年10月，巴拉圭当局查获了3吨运往比利时的可卡因。

今年3月，英国警方在南安普顿港口截获了两吨可卡因，这些可卡因是运往托莱多一家正在接受调查的西班牙公司的。



在这些平行行动中，共缴获了5吨可卡因。

巴拉圭当局逮捕了两个人，其中包括该组织在该国的主要头目。

协调一致的国际努力突出表明，摧毁这种复杂的犯罪行动需要广泛的影响和团队合作。

在巴塞罗那的成功查获，以及在巴拉圭和英国的重大截获，证明了合作执法在打击全球毒品贩运方面的有效性。

英文原文

Spanish police have seized more than four metric tons of ***e hidden in rice sacks at the port of Barcelona.

The incident marks the largest ***e seizure ever made at this facility.

The Civil Guard’s Central Operating Unit (UCO) launched an investigation last year into a Spanish company accused of smuggling ***e from Paraguay disguised as rice shipments.

The investigation revealed 4,020 kg of ***e hidden in plastic bags and rice sacks.

The sacks were manually stitched in order to hide their illegal contents.

The containers had arrived at Barcelona’s port earlier this year, but the ***e was only discovered in July when the smugglers moved the containers.

The operation was carried out by a smuggler group with members in Paraguay, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

The network consisted of import and export specialists, investors funding the logistics, and security professionals who protected the activities from violence and law enforcement scrutiny.

Eight people were arrested, including the company administrator in Spain.

Authorities conducted five raids across Cadiz, Madrid, Seville, and Toledo, resulting in the investigation of five additional suspects.

Authorities in Britain and Paraguay also made major seizures related to the same criminal network.

In October 2023, Paraguayan authorities seized three tons of ***e destined for Belgium.

In March, British police intercepted two tons of ***e at Southampton’s port destined for a Spanish company under investigation based in Toledo.

In total, five tons of ***e were recovered during these parallel operations.

Authorities in Paraguay arrested two individuals including the organization’s main ringleader in that country.

The coordinated international effort highlights the extensive reach and teamwork required to destroy such sophisticated criminal operations.

The successful bust in Barcelona, alongside the significant interceptions in Paraguay and the United Kingdom, demonstrate the effectiveness of the collaborative law enforcement effort in combating global drug trafficking.
