The Civil Guard has dismantled a gang made up of nine citizens of Polish origin -four of them arrested on the Costa del Sol- that was dedicated mainly to international cocaine trafficking, but also distributed marijuana and hashish in large shipments from South America and Africa to All Europe.

As reported by the Civil Guard, the structure and logistics of the network was based in Spain and, according to the estimates of the agents in charge of the operation named 'Tunguska-Bratva', it could have introduced 940 kilos of cocaine and almost eleven tons of marijuana and hashish.

The group began in 2014 to send narcotic substances from North Africa and America to European countries such as Poland, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The drug arrived in Spain and was loaded onto trucks that transported it through the different European countries. Each substance had a destination country: cocaine was delivered to Germany and Poland, marijuana was distributed to Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland, while hashish was delivered to Denmark.

Four of the arrests, including that of the ringleader, took place on the Costa del Sol, where several properties were searched in which cocaine, mobile devices and high-end vehicles were seized.

In Poland, where agents traveled to support the police in that country, the other five members were arrested, including one of the criminals who three years ago organized the shipment to his country of more than 3.2 tons of cocaine hidden in Inside a shipment of pineapple pulp from South America that arrived in Germany.

This shipment was intercepted on that occasion by Polish investigators, who arrested three more people.

The operation was carried out by agents of the Civil Guard of the Information Headquarters of the Special Central Unit number 3 and the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police of Malaga, in addition to the Central Investigation Office of the Polish Police.
