Europol announced Monday the dismantling of a huge European cocaine smuggling network and arrested 49 suspects in different countries.
Six of those arrested are considered “important targets” in Dubai.
“Drug traffickers whom Europol considers important targets came together to form a super cartel that controlled about a third of the cocaine trade in Europe,” the European Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation said in a statement.
Of those arrested, one suspect, aged 37, of Dutch and Moroccan nationality, is being prosecuted for having introduced thousands of kilos of cocaine into the Netherlands in 2020 and 2021.
He is also charged with belonging to a criminal organization, money laundering, official corruption, and possession of firearms.
