In Spain, criminals transported hashish using drones made in Ukraine.

A criminal organization engaged in smuggling hashish from Morocco to Spain using unmanned aerial vehicles was uncovered in the city of Algeciras. As a result of the investigation, Spanish law enforcement arrested 10 individuals and conducted six searches. This investigation involved EUROPOL, the police of Ukraine and Poland.

The organization was based in Campo de Gibraltar and Costa del Sol. They used large drones capable of transporting up to 10 kg of hashish over distances exceeding 50 km. These drones were assembled in Ukraine and then delivered to Spain, where they were launched into the air. The organization attempted to smuggle up to 1000 kg of hashish using this method.

During the searches, three drones, control devices, repair tools, cash, and drugs were seized. The arrested individuals were handed over to the court, which decided to imprison seven of them.

Recently, the Spanish police also seized more than a ton of cocaine that was intended to be delivered to the port of Algeciras from South America.
